Big Pot for Ruijs

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

The stack of Joris Ruijs continues to grow in leaps and bounds. He just won another big pot, this time without eliminating a player like he has done many times earlier today.

The action began with Kasper Mellanen opening to 4,500 from the cutoff. Martin Berge called from the button before Ruijs three-bet to 21,500.

Mellanen four-bet to 55,000. Berge tanked for a minute before he folded and the action paused on Ruijs also for a minute before he called.

Ruijs check-called a bet of 40,000 from Mellanen after the {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} came on the flop. Ruijs then put his opponent to the test with a jam that more than covered the approximately 110,000 Mellanen had in his hand after the {6-Diamonds} came on the turn. Mellanen was in the tank for about 90 seconds before he opted to fold.

After the hand, Ruijs' stack grew to around 585,000, which is more than enough to claim the chip lead.
