Ruth Doubles Through Jackson
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Steven Jackson led out from the big blind for 5,000 on the A♥Q♦Q♠ flop, and Ronald Ruth raised to 10,000 on his left. Jackson called and checked the 9♠ turn.
Ruth fired another 10,000, and Jackson made the call. The K♥ river saw both players get their stacks in the middle, with Ruth at risk.
Ronald Ruth: Q♥9♥
Steven Jackson: A♦K♠
Jackson's two pair was no good, as Ruth had turned a full house to secure the double-up.
