Kovalchuk Over Ratigan

Stud-8

Oleksii Kovalchuk brought it in with the {3-Clubs}, Danny Ratigan completed with the {5-Spades}, then Kovalchuk raised and Ratigan called. Ratigan check-called on fourth, bet out on fifth and was called, then both checked sixth. Seventh street was dealt...

Ratigan: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} / {x-}
Kovalchuk: {x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades} / {x-}

Ratigan bet, and after a bit of thought Kovalchuk made the call. Ratigan announced all he had was the pair of fives showing, and Kovalchuk turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for two pair, sevens and sixes.

That one moves Kovalchuk up over 1 million and near Gregorich, while Ratigan is now on the short stack.
