Justin Ruth Eliminated in 14th Place ($20,820)
Level 40
: Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Justin Ruth moved all in from under the gun with his remaining 20,200,000.
Action folded to Steve Foutty on the button, and Foutty made the call. The two players in the blinds folded to bring up heads-up action.
Justin Ruth: 5♥5♠
Steve Foutty: 10♦10♣
Foutty was ahead before the flop and the situation didn’t change when the dealer fanned 9♥K♦9♠.
Ruth, however, took command of the hand when 5♦ appeared on the turn, giving Ruth a full house.
Fortunes turned in Foutty’s favor when the dealer placed 9♥ on the river, which counterfeited Ruth’s full house and gave Foutty a larger full house of nines full of 10s.
The turn of events in the hand stunned the table.
Ruth exited the tournament in 14th place for a $20,820 payout.
