Early Eliminations

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

False Start for Ruesing

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Oliver Ruesing is off to a false start on Day 2. There are a lot of all-in situations to be found across the black section in the Pavilion room since a lot of players started the day with a short stack. Ruesing was the latest to lose an all-in situation against Jovan Sudar.

All the cards were on the board and it looked like {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Ruesing was counting out enough chips with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} in front of him to pay Jovan Sudar who had {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Ruesing is left with just under seven big blinds after the hand and he is the one in need of a double up now.
