Sitbon Doubles Through Ruggeri
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With around 15,000 in the pot on a board of 4♥6♣6♦5♣, Julien Sitbon checked and Umberto Ruggeri bet 6,000. Sitbon sat motionless for a while, then shoved for 18,000. Ruggeri called quickly.
Julien Sitbon: 7♥3♠ 
Umberto Ruggeri: 8♦8♠
Sitbon had turned a straight, which left Ruggeri drawing thin to win the pot. The Q♦ river was safe for Sitbon, which meant he doubled up, and Ruggeri took a small hit to his stack.
