Ronaldo's Rollercoaster
Ronaldo's stack has been oscillating at the feature table for the past 20 minutes, but he just hit a timely river card to double his stack. He opened to 35,000 from under the gun and Christopher Lockhart shoved for just under 900,000, putting Ronaldo to a decision for his remaining 324,000.
"Aye, aye, aye," he grumbled as he peeked at his cards. He looked up at the dealer and announced a call.

Lockhart:
Ronaldo needed help, and his chances greatly improved on the flop, giving him a flush draw to go with his three live deuces. The on the turn changed nothing, but the dealer delivered the on the river to give the former football star a pair and the win.
"Even in the World Cup I never sweat that much," he said as he began stacking his newfound chips.
