Ruzin Gets the Triple-Up
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action caught up to a multi-way all-in hand between Alexey Ruzin in the big blind, a player in late position, and a player on the button.
Alexey Ruzin: A♦K♦
Late Position: J♠J♦
Button: A♠J♣
Fortunately for Ruzin, one of the two remaining aces fell on the 8♣10♥A♣ flop, leaving both opponents needing to play catch-up.
That door would open on the 7♠ turn, giving both players holding a jack a gutshot straight draw with a nine. But the 5♥ on the river would seal up the win for Ruzin on a final board reading 8♣10♥A♣7♠5♥.
Ruzin scored the much-needed triple-up to stay alive.
