Level 7
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Ruha was all in with AxKx for his remaining in one of the first hands of the day for ~29,000 and called by Kevin Lee AxQx.
Ruha held on the Ax2x6xAx10x runout, with his king kicker saving him from being eliminated just 10 minutes into the first level of the day.
Across the floor, Nicholas Nicolaou was seen raking in a pot after his pocket aces held on a low run out against his opponent, also saving his seat.
Both players got back up to around starting stack, securing their seat in the Main Event.
