Cada Doubles Through Ruge Before Break

Level 21 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

Just before the break, Joe Cada completed his small blind. Arne Ruge raised to 9,000 in the big blind and Cada called.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Cada checked, Ruge bet 9,000. Cada raised to 33,300 and Ruge pondered his options. Ruge shoved with the bigger stack and Cada snap-called.

Joe Cada: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Arne Ruge: {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

They both had a flush draw with Cada also having a pair of sixes and the upper-hand with the higher club cards. Ruge also had a gut-shot straight draw.

The rest of the board was completed with the {6-Hearts} on the turn to give Cada trip sixes and the {a-Diamonds} on the river completed the story for Cada as he made it a full house in the end. After counting out the stacks, Cada had 121,200 in total, which meant that Ruge was back to just below a ton.

Shortly after, Giuseppe Pantaleo, was also eliminated from the same table.
