Ripnick Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was picked up as John Ripnick was all in against Martina Mardini-Muether.
John Ripnick: K♠J♥ 
Martina Mardini-Muether: A♥A♦
The flop of 10♥9♣5♦ was good for Mardini-Muether, having Ripnick drawing thin to a queen for a straight, but the J♣ on the turn gave Rupnick additional outs, and the J♠ on the river kept him alive in the tournament.
