Wai Makes the Nuts and Doubles
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andrea Ruosi and Sim Kok Wai were battling for a pot of 80,000. The action was caught on the turn on a board that read Q?2?6?10? and Ruosi had bet 74,000 from the small blind. Wai was in the hijack and made the call after a little thinking time.
The river fell the 4? and Ruosi rapidly went all in, covering the 135,000 chips Wai had left in his stack. Wai snap called and instantly tabled the flopped nut flush with A?10?. Ruosi went for it with Q?9? but his top pair was not good enough to take down the pot, and he was left with about 12 big blinds.
