Ciccarelli Hits Runner-Runner to Stay Alive
The Horseshoe has seen some crazy runouts today, with another player hitting a straight flush on the river. A commotion was heard at a nearby table involving John Ciccarelli, who had just doubled up.
Ciccarelli recapped the action for PokerNews, where he explained that he had shoved in the cutoff for about 12 big blinds. The player on the button, who had him covered, moved all in as well.
John Ciccarelli: A♦10♥ 
Button: A♥7♥
The flop of 2♥9♥8♥ had Ciccarelli nearly drawing dead, as his opponent flopped the nut flush. That was until the dealer put out the J♥ turn and Q♥ river to give Ciccarelli runner-runner for the straight flush.
The players at the table couldn't believe what an incredible runout took place, keeping Ciccarelli's tournament hopes alive.
