Stokkan's Jacks Hold to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Preben Stokkan, who had just picked up a couple of pots by moving all-in, opened to 80,000 from the cutoff. Umberto Ruggeri moved all in as the big stack from the small blind and Stokkan called off his stack of 1,035,000.
Preben Stokkan: J♠J♦
Umberto Ruggeri: A♦Q♥
It was a classic flip and one that Stokkan would win as he remained best following the K♦10♣9♣2♦4♣ runout.
