Neuville Knocks Ruge Out

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arne Ruge was all in holding {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and was facing Pierre Neuville with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. A {q-} fell on the flop but the rest of the board brought no more help to Ruge who made his way to the exit as the players are approaching the bubble.

Neuville, who started the day with 91,000 chips, now has a stack around 185,000.

Loosli Eliminates Finstein

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sylvain Loosli shoved all in with a stack worth 25,000 and the action folded to Michael Finstein in the big blind who called all in for his last 17,000 to create the following showdown:

Michael Finstein: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Sylvain Loosli: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Finstein was in bad shape to survive and a board {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} brought him no help. Loosli is now up to a stack worth 46,000.

Ruane Goes for Value on the River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Ruane
Michael Ruane

Michael Ruane spent Day 1 flying under the radar, but he has been building a nice stack in front of him. He won another pot just now where he raised from the button to 4,500 and the player in the big blind called him.

The flop was {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and the player in the big blind check-called a bet of 7,000. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and both players checked. The player in the big blind checked to Ruane again on the {K-Hearts} river and Ruane fired out a chunky bet of 15,400. His opponent went into the tank for three minutes but eventually called the bet.

Ruane showed {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} and ended up winning the pot.
