Pocket Rockets Boost Ruijs to Over the Milly Mark

Facing a raise preflop, Joris Ruijs three-bet the button to around 60,000, and Davide Marchi cold four-bet the big blind to 130,000. The initial raiser folded, but Ruijs five-bet to 220,000. Marchi used a time bank and then six-bet ripped it in for about 590,000. Ruijs beat him into the pot with a call.

Davide Marchi: J♣J♥ All in
Joris Ruijs: A♥A♣

Ruijs had the preflop nuts with pocket rockets, and whoever won this pot would see their stack climb to over a milly and near the top of the leaderboard.

The Q♥5♣2♥ flop didn't contain the paint card Marchi needed, and neither did the Q♠ turn.

Marchi needed a two-outer to survive and leave Ruijs on dust, but it never came as the 3♥ completed the board.

Marchi wished the players good luck as he headed to the rail, while Ruijs' stack soared to around 1,250,000.
