Ruan Doubles Through Dean
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jiayu Ruan raised and Patrick Curzio then tanked with a short stack. The clock was called on him and he eventually folded, showing his cards to his table neighbor. Donovan Dean moved all in thereafter and Ruan called all in for 135,000.
Jiayu Ruan: Q♣Q♦ 
Donovan Dean: 3♥3♠
The board ran out Q♠5♠2♥7♦10♠ and Ruan doubled. "I am not here to min-cash," the player from China said.
In the meanwhile, Curzio mentioned he had folded kings and that was indeed the case as he had let go of the K♦K♣ and would have been eliminated.
