McKoy Gets River Value From Ruane

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

With what looked to be about 600,000 in the pot on the river of a {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} board, Michael Ruane and Steve McKoy were involved in a blind-versus-blind battle.

Ruane had checked and McKoy bet 700,000, sending his opponent into the tank.

Maybe trying to offer some assistance, McKoy said, "Tell me what you have."

"Not a very good hand," replied Ruane.

Shortly after, Ruane made the call and McKoy tabled {k-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a backdoor straight.

"Fuck," yelled Ruane as he mucked his cards.
