Ronny Johansen Cracks Aces to Stay Alive

Ronny Johansen moved all in from under the gun for roughly his last 26,500. Action folded around to Pier Paolo Ruscalla on the button and he cold called the raise. The blinds folded and the players showed:

Johansen: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Ruscalla: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

The flop was dramatic as it fell {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {6-Spades}. Another player commented that they folded a pair of nines, thus turning Johansen's six-outer into a virtual four-outer. Nevertheless, he hit the turn squarely as it fell the {9-Spades} . The {5-Clubs} on the river was of no consequence Johansen doubled to just over 58,000.
