Ruijs Doubles With Ace-King Versus Aces

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Joris Ruijs

Joris Ruijs moved all in from under the gun for around 2m and was called by start-of-day chip leader Valentin Cristea on the button.

Joris Ruijs: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Valentin Cristea: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Board: {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Ruijs' hand was in big trouble against pocket aces, but he did pick up a backdoor flush draw on the flop. The turn diamond gave him additional outs to the flush and when the river card was revealed to be another diamond he stole the pot from Cristea's grasp and secured a vital double up.
