Ruiz Ruins Schlegel
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Steven Stout opened to 1,200 from late position and Mario Ruiz three-bet to 2,800 from the cutoff. Aaron Schlegel called from the hijack and Stout topped up to call.
The 5♠8♠Q♦ flop saw action check to Ruiz who bet 4,500. Schlegel raised to 10,000 and Stout snap-folded. Ruiz moved all in for 19,800 and Schlegel took some time before making the call.
Mario Ruiz: Q♣Q♥
Aaron Schlegel: A♦Q♠
Schlegel stood from the table not realising who covered who as he thought he was at risk of elimination. Ruiz had flopped a set of queens and was ahead. The 7♣ turn didn't change much and the 7♥ river locked up the double for Ruiz.
Schlegel was down to just 2,100 chips after the hand.
