Ruggeri and Niste Play Two All-In Pots


Umberto Ruggeri played two all-in pots in quick succession.
First, Ruggeri shoved from the small blind and Niste snap-called from the big blind.
Umberto Ruggeri: K♠10♦
Mihai Niste: 8♣8♦
Ruggeri's Snowmen stayed in the lead on the 6♦Q♠6♠ flop, but Niste improved to an open-ended on the J♠ turn. Niste thought he had won the pot when the 9♦ hit the river, but Ruggeri spiked a straight to double.
Not long after, Ruggeri raised the button to 2,000,000 and Niste shoved from the small blind. Ruggeri snap-called,
Umberto Ruggeri: K♦K♣
Mihai Niste: A♣Q♥
Ruggeri was on the brink of holding most of the chips in play, but the 10♠5♠A♠ flop meant Niste now had the pot in his grasp. An 8♠ on the turn put a flush draw on board, and the pot was chopped when the 6♠ dropped on the river.
