Ruijs Scoops Big Pot to Eliminate Ievchenko

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

The action was caught on a K572 turn. Oleksii Ievchenko had moved all in at a previous point in the hand, creating a main pot of roughly 30,000.

Meanwhile, Leiqi Chen in the big blind and Joris Ruijs in early position had built a side pot of around 50,000. Chen then checked to Ruijs, who moved all in for 55,000.

Chen gave it some thought before he reluctantly mucked his cards, leaving Ruijs to take the large side pot and show down for the main pot with Ievchenko.

Oleksii Ievchenko: AQ All in
Joris Ruijs: 88

Ievchenko was delighted to see he was not drawing dead, but the 7 river still sealed the fate of his elimination.
