Sebastian Ruthenberg raised to open the pot, and Pieter Kouijzer three-bet a few seats over. When it came back to Ruthenberg, he moved all in with his covering stack, and Kouijzer made the call for his final 54,200 chips. Cards on their backs, gents.

Showdown
Ruthenberg: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

Kouijzer:

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

The board would run out favorably for the at-risk player: {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. The two nines hold for Kouijzer, and he's doubled up through Ruthenberg. The Team PokerStars Pro from Germany has slipped back to his Day 2 starting stack of 140,000.
