Cristiano Ruiu Eliminated in 13th Place (€3,650)
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
In a blind-versus-blind confrontation, Bruno David Simoes opened to 250,000 from the small blind and Cristiano Ruiu responded by moving all-in for just over 950,000. Simoes made the call without hesitation, putting Ruiu at risk.
Cristiano Ruiu: 9♠9♥ 
Bruno David Simoes: A♠6♣
Ruiu held the advantage preflop, but Simoes had live overcard outs. The flop came J♣J♠2♥, keeping Ruiu ahead. The 4♣ turn and 7♥ river failed to improve either player, allowing Ruiu's pocket nines to hold up.
Despite starting the hand as the underdog, Ruiu secured the double-up while Simoes took a hit to his stack.
