Garland Wins the Flip
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The action folded all the way to Stephen Garland in the cutoff who only took a moment and then moved all in for his last 20,700. The button and small blind folded and the action was on Kurtis Ruhl in the big blind who did some accounting and then tossed in a call. The cards hit their backs with Garland all in and at risk.
Stephen Garland: 8♣8♥
Kurtis Ruhl: A♥9♣
It was a flip and Garland needed to hold. The full board ran out K♣7♥7♦4♦3♠ and the pair of eights held to earn Garland the pure double.
