Rus Hits an Ace to Double; Vogelaar Left on Fumes
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
John Vogelaar raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Mircea Rus shoved for 920,000 from the big blind. Vogelaar snap-called.
Mircea Rus: A?10? 
John Vogelaar: J?J?
Vogelaar needed to fade an ace or some hearts to send everyone closer to the final table.
The 7?7?A? flop was disatourous for Vogelaar as Rus paired his ace to take a commanding lead. There was no help for Vogelaar on the 9? turn or K? river and the majority of his chips were sent over to Rus.
