Russo Comes From Behind to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
A player under the gun moved all in, and Bob Russo called for 700,000 on the button.
Bob Russo: A♣10♦
Opponent: A♥K♠
Russo found himself dominated going to the flop, which came K♠8♠9♥. The turn was the J♦, while the Q♠ fell on the river to give Russo a straight and the double up.
At the same time at another table, Bin Weng related that Tom Matacale just doubled up when his A♣10♣ made a royal flush against ace-jack.
