Payne Checks It Back; Hogan Climbing
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Just a short while ago, Nick Raio was down to the felt and at risk for just a few thousand. In the last few levels he has climbed his way back up to over 100,000.
Action was heads-up with over 60,000 in the pot and 
on the board when Raio checked and Tyler Payne went into the tank.
After a few moments, Payne spoke up.
"This might be the weakest check back in history," Payne said as he looked at the board, Raio's stack, and his own.
Payne checked and the cards were turned up. Raio had ace-high, but Payne showed 
to take the pot with queens and jacks.
Elsewhere in the room, Ryan Hogan has 264,000
