Kurtis Ruhl Eliminated in 15th Place ($16,093)
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jonathan Hanner raised to 100,000 from the cutoff, and Kurtis Ruhl committed his last 135,000 in the small blind. Andrew Ostapchenko called in the big blind, as did Hanner.
Ostapchenko checked the 5♦7♦5♥ flop, and Hanner bet 225,000. Ostapchenko folded, leaving Ruhl at risk heads-up.
Kurtis Ruhl: K♥8♥6♣3♦
Jonathan Hanner: A♠K♣6♠6♦
Hanner turned over his pair of sixes, while both players hit the K♠ turn and K♦ river. That left Hanner with the best hand thanks to his ace kicker, and Ruhl was sent out in 15th place.
