Wai Makes the Nuts and Doubles
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andrea Ruosi and Sim Kok Wai were battling for a pot of 80,000. The action was caught on the turn on a board that read Q♥2♥6♥10♠ and Ruosi had bet 74,000 from the small blind. Wai was in the hijack and made the call after a little thinking time.
The river fell the 4♦ and Ruosi rapidly went all in, covering the 135,000 chips Wai had left in his stack. Wai snap called and instantly tabled the flopped nut flush with A♥10♥. Ruosi went for it with Q♦9♦ but his top pair was not good enough to take down the pot, and he was left with about 12 big blinds.
