Ruscitti Spikes The River on Gardner
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Graham Gardner in the small blind and Kevin Ruscitti in first position.
The board read 8♠4♦2♥4♠ and Gardner checked over to Ruscitti who bet 3,500. Gardner responded by raising to 8,000 and Ruscitti called.
Gardner led out for 10,000 on the river Q♦ and Ruscitti raised to 33,000, which Gardner called.
Ruscitti turned over Q♥Q♠ for queens full of fours, which was good against Gardner's K♥K♣ for kings up. Ruscitti becomes the first player to cross the six figure mark in the tournament.
Shortly after, Terry Kocher was eliminated from the tournament and rebought to sit down at the same table he was eliminated from.
