Ratkovich Scores Huge Double Knockout
Lea Wolfe opened the hand with a jam from the hijack for 475,000. The table folded to Stuart Pfeifer in the small blind, who popped it to 1,100,000. Thomas Ratkovich called the raise from Pfeifer to head to a flop paying for a side pot heads up.
The flop came down 5♦9♦10♦ and Pfeifer responded with an all-in. Ratkovich checked his cards before calling to send all three players into a showdown.
Lea Wolfe: 8♣8♦
Stuart Pfeifer: K♦K♠
Thomas Ratkovich: A♦K♥
Pfeifer got it in with the best hand, but Ratkovich held the best draw as Wolfe was left drawing to two outs to stay alive. The 3♦ turn was just the card Ratkovich was looking for as he hit the nut flush. The Q♥ on the river was of no consequence as Ratkovich scooped a massive pot and knocked out both Wolfe and Pfeifer in the process.
