Rutigliano Doubles Through Cowen
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Antonio Rutigliano all-in for 87,000 and at risk versus Robert Cowen.
Antonio Rutigliano: A♥K♣ 
Robert Cowen: J♠J♥
Cowen was ahead in a race and remained so after the 9♠8♥Q♠ flop.
However the A♠ rolled off on the turn to put Rutigliano in front, and the 2♣ river completed the board and sent the pot to Rutigliano.
As his opponent raked in the pot, Cowan remarked to his table mate, Mustapha Kanit, "I felt good about jacks for once".
