Ruzzi Loses with Eights, Wins with Nines

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

In the first hand it was all-in preflop. Ruzzi held {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} whilst his opponent Adrian Mateos's cards were {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop was {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, and Mateos took the lead with two pair. The turn brought the {8-Hearts}, giving Ruzzi a set, but the river was a cooler as the {Q-Diamonds} was dealt, giving Mateos a full-house.

A few hands later, there was another all-in and call at the table, this time involving Ruzzi and Malnik.

Ruzzi: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Malnik: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board was dealt {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and Malnik was eliminated two people short of the money
