Ragone Flops the Nuts and Rivers the Nuts
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Filippo Ragone potted the button to 700,000 with just 775,000 behind. Sascha Wilhelm raised the pot out of the small blind, and Ragone called to put himself at risk.
Filippo Ragone: A♠Q♠6♠5♦ 
Sascha Wilhelm: A♦A♥Q♦J♥
Wilhelm had doubled-suited aces, and Ragone asked the dealer for some spades on the flop.
The dealer didn't comply as she dealt out a flop of 3♠7♦4♣ to give Ragone the nut straight. Wilhelm was drawing dead by the 5♠ turn as Ragone improved to an unnecessary nut flush on the 10♠ river, and he doubled up.
