Ruane Finds a Miracle
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
The action folded to Michael Ruane in the small blind who raised to 3,000,000. James Gauley called in the big blind.
The flop came A♦4♣2♥ and Ruane bet 400,000, and was raised for 50,000 more by Gauley. Ruane made the call.
Michael Ruane: J♠2♠ 
James Gauley: A♣K♥
Both had flopped a pair, but Gauley's was best. The 10♣ turn was safe for Gauley, but the J♦ on the river turned the tables, giving Ruane two pair, and securing him the double-up.
