Ruijs on Fire, Takes out Two
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Raiki Reinsoo jammed 20 big blinds and was called by Joris Ruijs. Ruijs held an advantage in the hand heading to the flop with 
against his opponent's 
.
The 
flop paired Ruijs and Reinsoo needed a pair of runners to stay alive. The 
on the turn gave Reinsoo a chance with a gutshot straight draw. However, the 
was of no help and Reinsoo headed to the tournament registration desk to quickly re-enter for a fresh 30 big blind stack.
Shortly after, Ruijs was at it again, this time felting Estonian poker legend Markku Koplimaa with pocket kings against pocket jacks in a pot of 80 big blinds. Koplimaa quickly got back in action as well, while Ruijs' stack soared to near the chip lead.
