Ruggeri Doubles to Leave Colavita Short
Level 38
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri had his stack of around 10,000,000 in the middle from under the gun and was put at risk by Mario Colavita in the small blind.
Umberto Ruggeri: A♠7♣ 
Mario Colavita: 8♣8♦
Ruggeri went from dismay to delight when he saw the 5♦9♠A♦ flop, as he paired his ace to take the lead. A 6♠ on the turn did give Colavita a straight draw, but the 5♥ wasn't what he needed, and Ruggeri doubled up.
