Dukic Turns the Nuts
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
John Ripnick opened to 40,000 and was three-bet by Nenad Dukic to 135,000 out of the small blind. When the action got back on Ripnick, he shoved for 455,000 effective and Dukic snap-called.
Nenad Dukic: A♦K♦ 
John Ripnick: A♠10♠
Both caught a piece of the 4♥10♦2♦ flop but it was Ripneck who took the lead after he flopped a pair of tens.
The hand was over by the turn as the 5♦ improved Dukic to an unbeatable flush, with an inconsequential 7♠ filling out the board.
