Ruane Eliminated During Last Level of the Night

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Michael Ruane, who finished fouth in the 2016 Main Event, and tenth in 2017, won't be making another deep run this year because he's been eliminated with less than 20 minutes left in the day.

Ruane had been nursing a short stack for a lot of the day and finally moved all-in preflop for his last 20,400. He was called by Joshua Remitio, and the duo were off to the races.

Michael Ruane: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
josh Remitio: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop was safe for Ruane, but the turn brought the {2-Diamonds}, giving Remitio a flush draw, which came home on the river with the {8-Diamonds}, to eliminate Ruane.

MacIntyre Doubles His Short Stack

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Brian Yee limped and Fraser MacIntyre then jammed for just 6,700 in the hijack. William Akins called in the big blind and Yee folded, claiming in table chat he had pocket sixes.

Fraser MacIntyre: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
William Akins: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and MacIntyre doubled with trips queens.

"The first table has been dull and nobody talked but this one is fun," MacIntyre had mentioned earlier. And the Scotsman sure knows how to create some friendly atmosphere to go with it even if he has a short stack.

On the {k-Hearts} turn, after another check, Keeline continued the aggression with a bet of 5,000. Again, the small blind called.

The small blind checked once more on the {q-Clubs} river, and this time Keeline opted to shut down and check back.

The small blind showed {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and Keeline tossed his cards into the muck, taking a small hit near the end of what's been a successful day thus far.
