Ruggeri Collects the Last of Houayek's Stack

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joseph Houayek shoved from under the gun for 520,000 and Umberto Ruggeri called from the big blind.

Joseph Houayek: K♥J♣ All in
Umberto Ruggeri: A♦9♦

Houayek was happy to see he wasn't dominated and had lives cards, but not so impressed with the runout as the 6♦2♥10♥4♦8♣ board meant he was eliminated.

Gaspare Sposato was also eliminated shortly before.
