Ruiz Eliminates Janiga

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jorge Ruiz, a poker dealer at Montego Bay casino in Wendover, Nevada, raised under the gun to 21,000 and it folded all the way around to Brett Janiga in the big blind. He took his time to count out not only a call but a three-bet to 51,000. Ruiz then four-bet to 101,000 and it was back to Janiga.

Janiga went into the tank and he took his time before he pushed his last chips forward. The five-bet all-in was for 145,000 in total and Ruiz wanted to know how much he had to call.

''That's a good sign'' said Janiga who was eventually called by Ruiz.

Janiga was ahead with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and he dominated the {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} of Ruiz.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Janiga was eliminated after a three-outer on the river.
