Emanuele Rugini Eliminated

Juha Helppi raised from the button only to be priced in by Emanuele Rugini, who slid his short-stack all in from the big blind.

After disagreeing as to who was in front, Rugini eventually turned over {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, which was a country mile ahead of the Fin's {8-Spades}{6-Spades}. But 'ahead' soon turned to 'behind' as the flop came {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} to give Helppi second pair and the gutshot straight draw. "That's a good flop," observed Helppi astutely.

No change on the {J-Hearts} turn and {2-Diamonds} river and that was all she wrote for Rugini.
