Ruijs Dodges the River For a Massive Double
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma raised to 55,000 in early position, and Joris Ruijs called on the button.
The flop came A♣5♣2♥ and Toma bet 65,000. Ruijs then raised to 205,000, and Toma called.
Ruijs bet another 375,000 on the K♥ turn, but this time Toma came back with a raise to 850,000. Ruijs then moved all in for 1,570,000, and Toma took only a few seconds before calling, creating a pot worth nearly 4,000,000.
Ruijs showed 5♠5♦ for a set, while Toma had A♥10♥ for top pair and the nut flush draw. The 8♦ fell on the river, and Ruijs held on to earn the double-up.
