Ruijs Figures it Out & Makes the Right Call
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With around 150,000 in the pot on a completed board of 5♣K♥3♠J♣8♥, Joris Ruijs checked from the small blind, and faced a shove from Rami Nohra out of the big blind.
Ruijs had the effective stack, so the bet was for all of his 153,000 chips. Ruijs did some inventory and was visibly distressed by the spot he had been put in. After looking at his cards one last time, Ruijs made the call.
Nohra revealed a bluff with A♦10♣ for ace-high, and lost the pot to Ruijs' K♠2♠ for a pair of kings.
