Asaro Flips His Way to a Double
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Antonio Asaro had less than 100,000 remaining and got his chips into the middle, with Joris Ruijs attempting to ruin his Main Event dreams.
Antonio Asaro: K♣10♣
Joris Ruijs: 3♥3♠
It was a flip, and Asaro took the lead with top pair on the 4♥7♥K♥ flop, while Ruijs had a flush draw.
The 10♠ improved Asaro to two pair, and the 9♠ river cemented his double-up at the expense of Ruijs.
