Ruijs Keeps Climbing

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The flop read {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades} on a raised pot when Marcin Chmielewski checked and called a bet of 80,000 from Joris Ruijs.

The turn fell a {2-Spades} and the same action happened, this time for 225,000.

On the {q-Hearts} river, Ruijs fired 435,000 after a last check from Chmielewski and after some consideration, the latter called. Ruijs showed {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and it was enough to make Chmielewski muck his hand.
