Ruivo Runs Out on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Players were already head up with Manuel Ruivo in the small blind and Kyle Scott sitting in early position. They were on the turn looking at a 3♠8♥7♠4♦ board, with a huge pot of 600,000 chips.
Ruivo jammed for his remaining 720,000 and action went to Scott. He called and covered Ruivo and tabled his pocket kings. Ruivo saw he was behind and turned over his pocket queens.
Manuel Ruivo: Q♣Q♠
Kyle Scott: K♥K♣
The 10♠ river fell, and was no help to Ruivo. He stood from the table as the pot was pushed to Scott, having been eliminated from the main event with just 390 players remaining.
After the hand Scott pointed at the dealer and joked, "Five stars for you!"
