Ratiu Wins a Race to Double
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 2,300 and the player in the cutoff called. Augustin Ratiu then shoved for 24,500 total on the button, which got a fold from the initial raiser and a call from the cutoff.
Augustin Ratiu: A?K?
Cutoff: 9?9?
It was a fair fight, but the K?2?5?8?A? runout improved Augustin Ratiu to two pair, awarding him the double up.
