Ryan Wins Classic Race
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stephen Ryan raised to 5,000 from middle position and Nikolai Mamut three-bet to 13,500 from the hijack. The action folded back to Ryan, who jammed all in for 55,000, and Mamut stuck in a call to put his neighbor at risk.
Stephen Ryan: A?K? 
Nikolai Mamut: Q?Q?
The 5?K?4? flop paired Ryan's king, and Mamut could not hit back on the 9?3? runout, seeing Ryan double up to an above-average stack.
