Ruijs Overtakes Pak in Big Three-Bet Pot; Sandvik Eliminated in Mystery Hand

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

Joris Ruijs made it 60,000 to go first to act. Edward Pak was in the cutoff, and he three-bet to 150,000. The action made its way back to Ruijs, who called.

Ruijs checked the 9♣3♠9♥ flop to Pak, who continued with a bet of 95,000. Ruijs did not deem it enough, as he raised to 280,000. Pak flicked in calling chips, and the 5♠ turn was dealt.

Ruijs reverted to checking, prompting Pak to retake the initiative with a bet of 725,000. Ruijs just called this time, after which the 7♣ river was checked to showdown.

Ruijs revealed J♠9♠ for trip nines, causing Pak to send his J♦J♣ to the muck in defeat.

Meanwhile, at the other feature table, Espen Sandvik was eliminated in a hand that did not make its way to the stream.
