Ribkin Doubles After Hitting One-Outter
Level 8
: 400/800, 0 ante
Jason Ribkin spoke to PokerNews just now after hitting his dream card after getting it in flush versus flush.
Ribkin ran through the hand, explaining that he'd opened to 2,000 and was called by three players. On the 
flop, it went check-check before a 7,000 bet was made. The other two players folded before Ribkin went all in and his opponent called him.
Jason Ribkin: 
Opponent: 
It was nut flush versus a nine-high flush until the 
turn changed all that, giving Ribkin the straight flush. The river completed the board and the cruel runout has left one player very short, while Ribkin is up to 63,000.
