Barracano Wins a Huge Flip Against Raymer
Level 32
: Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Greg Raymer raised to 500,000 from under the gun, and Lionel Barracano jammed for 1,755,000 on the button. When the action got back to Raymer, he took a little time before putting in the call for about a third of his stack.
Lionel Barracano: 7♣7♦
Greg Raymer: K♣10♣
It was a coin flip that Barracano got out of his seat for, knowing he needed to win it to stay alive.
The 2♣A♥8♥ flop kept Barracano's pocket sevens in front, although Raymer picked up plenty of additional outs when the Q♣ arrived on the turn.
Fortunately for Barracano, the 8♦ river was a brick, and he survived to fight another hand.
