The Rich Get Richer

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

From the hijack, Sam Ruha opened with a raise only to have Michael Kyriakou three-bet the cutoff.

Ruha made the call, and then on a {7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts} flop, he check-called 5,500 before both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn.

The river landed the {5-Hearts} and Ruha bet 20,000 with Kyriakou making the call.

Ruha tabled his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Kyriakou mucked to see Ruha scoop the pot and climb further up the leaderboard to 153,000.

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Peco Stojanovski opened to 2,100 only to have Luke Spano three-bet shove for 18,300 with Stojanovski eventually making the call.

Stojanovski: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Spano: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The dealer spread a {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board to see Spano pushed a double as Stojanovski slipped to 38,000 in chips.
