Pressure Pays Off for Ruijs
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
In the final hand before the blinds increased, Joris Ruijs raised to 700 from the cutoff and faced immediate resistance as Elia Salerno three-bet to 1,700 on the button. The action folded back to Ruijs, who four-bet to 5,200, which Salerno called.
Ruijs continued for 2,700 on the 5♥10♦4♠ flop, and Salerno called again.
The 6♥ turn saw Ruijs fire a more substantial 11,500 into the middle. That gave Salerno pause for thought, but after studying his opponent's stack and then his own, he elected to fold.
