Joris Ruijs Eliminated in 9th Place (€126,950)
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Joris Ruijs was first to act and raised to 200,000. Jose Criado was in the next seat over, three-betting to 1,100,000. It folded back to Ruijs, who wagered his entire stack of 4,650,000. Criado snap-called to put him at risk.
Joris Ruijs: A♣K♥
Jose Criado: Q♥Q♦
Criado and his rail erupted in cheers as the 7♦Q♣4♠ flop presented him with top set. The 9♠ turn locked up the pot for the Spanish player, and the meaningless A♦ river was dealt as Ruijs said his goodbyes to the table.
Ruijs finished in ninth place, bubbling the official final table only half a year after the same fate befell him at EPT Paris.
