Van Brugge Doubles Through Ruijs
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Two of the best players in The Netherlands, Kees van Brugge and Joris Ruijs, are seated at the featured table together with chipleader Alberto Stegeman. The two of them got into a big preflop clash right away.
Stegeman opened to 4,000 from under the gun. Joris Ruijs three-bet to 13,000 behind him, Kees van Brugge four-bet shoved 43,900 on the button, Stegeman folded, and Ruijs called after a minute of thought.
Joris Ruijs: 
Kees van Brugge: 
The best starting hand remained ahead after an 
run down and Van Brugge doubled up. Stegeman claimed to have folded pocket tens after the hand.
