Ruiz Stays in Contention with Double
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Benny Ruiz raised to 55,000 from early position. The next seat over responds with a jam, and Ruiz called to be at risk for 191,000.
Benny Ruiz: J♦J♥
Opponent: A♠K♣
The flop was a welcome sight for Ruiz when it came 2♠J♣9♣ as he hit top set to lengthen his lead. The 5♦ turn changed nothing as the inconsequential Q♣ river hit to complete the board as Ruiz earned the double up.
