Ruter Quickly Adds Much Needed Chips
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Multiple players busted out as short stacks within minutes of Day 2 kicking off.
WSOP bracelet winner Mike Ruter, who started Level 23 with 240,000, made sure he wasn’t one of them.
After a player in middle position raised, Ruter moved all in at the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, and action returned to the original raiser, who made the call.
Ruter: 9♣9♦
Opponent: A♦2♦
The board ran out K♣7♣Q♠8♣7♦, giving Ruter two pair and a fast double up.
On the very next hand with Ruter on the button, he once again moved all in after action folded to him. The blinds folded and he picked up the combined 60,000 from the small blind, big blind and the ante.
