Paul Ratchford Ravages Opponent On River

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught the aftermath of an all-in confrontation involving Paul Ratchford and an unknown opponent. The final board read {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Ratchford had moved all-in for his last 18,900. His opponent made the quick call and turned over the {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for trip kings and top kicker.

Ratchford revealed the {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for trip queens on the flop and a rivered full house. With just three outs to take the pot, Ratchford had caught the perfect river card and doubled through his stunned opponent. He now sits with just over 42,000 after the victory.
