River Magic for Rummonds
The action of this hand was recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.
Ryan Rummonds has had a good half hour at the table. The chips started flying on the flop after the dealer spread Q♦10♦8♥. The small blind bet 7,700. The big blind called before Ryan Rummonds also made the call from the cutoff. The button shoved for approximately 41,000, which led to folds from everyone except Rummonds, who made the call.
Opponent: J♥9♠
Ryan Rummonds: A♦J♣
Rummonds was drawing to a king or nine for a straight, but he found out the bad news that his opponent already had a flopped straight, which limited Rummonds to a chop or a king for the win.
The 5♦ turn gave Rummonds more outs as he turned a flush draw to go with his straight draw.
The river was a dramatic one that got a reaction from the whole table when the K♣ peeled on the river to give Rummonds a higher straight to claim the pot.
