Ramanous Doubles Up and Takes One Out

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Two players went all in on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Ray Ramanous was one of them. He was at risk from the larger stack, but had the shorter stack covered.

Ray Ramanous: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Larger Stack: {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Shorter Stack: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The larger stack had flopped a straight, but was behind and needed running tens or queens to take the lead. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and the river was the {A-Diamonds} and while the larger stack improved to a better straight, Ramanous set was still the best hand so he took down the pot to more than double up and take one player out of the tournament.
