Ruggeri Turns a Flush to Double
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Jon Kyte limped in from the small blind and Umberto checked his option from the big blind.
Kyte bet 150,000 on the A♣J♣9♥ flop before Ruggeri made it 350,000. Kyte jammed and Ruggeri quickly called for the 1,950,000 he had behind.
Umberto Ruggeri: 8♣7♣
Jon Kyte: J♦9♦
Kyte had flopped two pair, but Ruggeri had outs to the flush as well as a straight draw. The 10♣ turn gave Ruggeri the best hand and held out to double after the 8♥ river.
