Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Will Unruh
Will Unruh

Will Unruh raised to 8,000 in early position and the button jammed for 14,500. The blinds quickly folded and Unruh put in the chips to call.

Button: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Will Unruh: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Unruh had his opponent dominated and the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop put him further ahead with top two pair. The {10-Diamonds} hit the turn, giving his opponent some outs to chop but the {9-Spades} on the river meant he was eliminated from the tournament.
