Ruffin Reinkemeier Up

Tobias Reinkemeier and Phil Ruffin created a pot of 280,000 preflop and proceeded to check the {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop and {10-Hearts} turn. When the {J-Clubs} hit the turn, a seemingly innocent pot exploded as Reinkemeier fired out 350,000 only to have Ruffin snap-raise to 850,000.

Reinkemeier was a bit flabbergasted. "We were checking it down to the river?" Reinkemeier asked himself. He then asked the floor whether or not he could tell Ruffin his hand, but the answer was negative. Eventually Reinkemeier tossed in the call, and Ruffin rolled over {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a full house. Reinkemeier flashed the {9-Clubs} and then sent his hand to the muck.
