Ruiz Holds With Aces

Level 2: Blinds 100/100/100

On a flop of [8h9h9c], a betting war broke out between Kai Fernando and Steven Ruiz that ended with both players all in, with Ruiz as the shorter stack.

Ruiz: [AhAs]

Fernando: [10c10s]

Ruiz was in the lead with his aces, but the turn [7c] gave Fernando some extra outs with an open-ended straight draw. Fortunately for Ruiz, the river was the [8s] to score him the pot for the double while Fernando was left with crumbs.

Ruiz - 45,000

Fernando - 1,200
