Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

Joris Ruijs is up to 620,000 after four-bet calling with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} against {a-Clubs}{k-} of an opponent.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} giving his opponent a flush draw and gutshot. The {j-} turn gave his opponent a straight and Ruijs a set of jacks. However, the {5-} river filled up Ruijs who moved up to 620,000 in chips.

Ruijs and Sammartino Lose Some

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, Joris Ruijs bet 21,000 and opponent Rifat Palevic bet 66,000. Ruijs tanked before calling.

Palevic turned over {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a flopped straight and Ruijs mucked his cards.

Meanwhile, Dario Sammartino had gotten value out of Armen Khachatryan on a {j-}{j-}{6-}{6-}{x-} board when the Italian held {a-}{j-}. He then three-bet Tom-Aksel Bedel to 35,000 and Bedel called.

The pair checked the {3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop, and Sammartino folded to Bedell's shove on the {6-Spades} turn.

Juan Pardo opened for 11,000 under the gun and Alexandre Reard moved all in on the button for a stack worth 45,000. The blinds folded and Pardo called to create the following showdown:

Alexandre Reard: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Juan Pardo: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Dan Smith
Dan Smith

A player opened and Juan Pardo raised from the button. Dan Smith moved all in for a stack worth 90,000 from the blinds and it folded back to Pardo who made the call.

Holding {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Smith was in bad shape for a double up, facing {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} in Pardo's hand and got eliminated after the {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} run out.

The winner of the € 10,300 No Limit Hold'em - 8 Handed in last EPT Monte-Carlo climbed to a stack of more than 650,000 after that hand.
