Ruijs Gets a Big Boost

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Renji Mao jammed for 160,000 from middle position before Joris Ruijs reshoved for 180,000 from the button. Nick Yunis called from the button to put both players at risk.

Renji Mao: 88All in
Joris Ruijs: JJ
Nick Yunis: A9

Ruijs' jacks remained best on the KQ9K3 runout and essentially tripled his stack.

Mao was eliminated, while Yunis was left with around 300,000. But he didn't keep those chips for long, as he departed soon after.
