A Decent Flop for Ratke

[user66118]

Bill Jordanou opened with an 11,000-chip raise from the hijack seat. On the button, Alex Ratke put in the call, as did Sam Sayed in the big blind.

Three-handed then, the flop brought {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

, and all three men checked.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. Sayed led out with a bet of 10,000, prompting Jordanou to move all in for about 70,000. Instantly, Ratke moved all in over the top, having both players covered. Sayed got the message and ducked out of the way.

Showdown:
Jordanou: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

Ratke:

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

Ratke found a miracle flop, and his quad threes had Bill Jordanou drawing dead. The river was an unimportant {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, and Ratke eliminates his opponent, moving up to 265,000.
