Rick Ruffman raised to 16,000 from early position and it folded to a player in late position who moved all in for 50,000.

Ruffman called turning over {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and his opponent showed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

The dealer fanned the {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and Ruffman maintained the lead. The {j-Diamonds} hit the turn and the player pulled ahead pairing his jack while Ruffman picked up an open ended straight draw.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board and Ruffman improved to a straight to earn the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
