Ruche Survives
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Down to 25,000 chips, Jean-Claude Ruche was all-in from the small blind, so Nicola Pezzullo didn't have to call from the big blind.
Jean-Claude Ruche: K♣9♠
Nicola Pezzullo: 10♦4♣
Ruche was lucky enough to hit top pair on 2♣8♠K♥5♣6♥ to win a 350,000 chip-pot.
With this single blind, he shoved on the next hand, and was called by Pezzullo and Antoine Delorme in the big blind. Both of them checked all the way through the board of 10♠3♣10♣J♥2♣, so all the cards went on their backs.
Jean-Claude Ruche: K♥3♠
Antoine Delorme: K♦3♥
Nicola Pezzullo: 6♠4♣
Ruche and Delorme both had the same hand, so they split the pot. Ruche now has two blinds.
