Flop War Among Big Stacks
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The action was picked up on the flop with roughly 400,000 in the middle and the board reading 10♥7♣4♦. Michael Conoran, from early position, bet 335,000 and was raised by Michael Ruane to 715,000 from the hijack. In the big blind, Rhett van Leeuwen put in another raise to 1,200,000. Conoran folded while Ruane made the call.
On the turn Q♥ Van Leeuwen went all in for another 1,200,000 and Ruane quickly called.
Michael Ruane: 7♦7♥ 
Rhett van Leeuwen: 10♣4♣
The river was the 4♠. Even though Van Leeuwen made a full house, the improvement was not enough to win the pot worth 5,000,000 chips.
