Ruesing Wins Monster Pot for Chip Lead

Level 7 : 900/1,800, 1,800 ante

The board read {9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} with over 300,000 in the middle already.

Shaul Meir had checked in the early position and Oliver Ruesing shoved on the button for around 110,000. Meir tanked, quietly going through the options in his head, and then decided to make the call.

Ruesing tabled {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for the flopped set of kings which he improved to a full house on the river while Meir held {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.
