Event #1C: Dale Beaudoin Cracks Giuseppe Ruvolo's Aces to Double Up

Event #1C: $600 NLH Multi-Flight $500,000 Guaranteed

Ante: 500

A player opens to 8,500 in early position, and Giuseppe Ruvolo re-raises to 23,000 on the button.  Dale Beaudoin moves all in from the small blind for around 100,000, and the original raiser quickly folds.  Ruvolo snap-calls, and the players table their cards:

Beaudoin: A♣Q
Ruvolo: AA♠

"Well, there are no more aces in the deck,  I can tell you that much," a player at the table that is not involved in the hand says.

The flop comes K♠104, leaving Ruvolo in the lead with his pair of aces.

The 7 turn maintains that lead, but the J on the river gives Beaudoin Broadway to double up.

As the dealer is counting down Beaudoin's 103,200 in chips, Ruvolo says, "That's the second time that I've had aces cracked since dinner. Dealer, please dont give me aces again. The first time the guy hit quads one me...no more aces!"

Dale Beaudoin - 221,400
Giuseppe Ruvolo - 300,000

The field has been dwindling, but there are still a significant amount of familiar faces left in the crowd. Of the notable chip counts, it's Soukha Kachittavong and Sam Taylor that are battling for the top spot in the chip counts.  Both players have around 215,000 in chips, and both players clearly have the skills necessary to carry them through to the end of this tournament.  Kachittavong and Taylor both have World Series of Poker Circuit rings, and both earned those rings here at Foxwoods.

Soukha Kachittavong
In August of 2017 Kachittavong won nearly back to back Circuit rings in Event # 8 ($365 No-Limit Hold'em), and Event #12 ($365 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry) for a combined total of $29,172.

Sam Taylor

Sam Taylor won the $1,675 Foxwoods Circuit Main event in August of 2015 for $149,020, and since then has won the $2,500 Borgata Spring Championship Event #17 in April of 2017 for $390,103.

Joe Heinzmann
Joe Heinzmann raises to 2,000 in the cutoff, and the player in the small blind calls.

The flop comes K9♣5♠, and both players check.

The turn is the 3♣. The small blind bets 2,500, and Heinzmann calls.

The river is the J♣.  This time the small blind bets 3,500, and Heinzmann quickly moves all of his remaining 8,000 in chips forward. His opponent quickly calls and turns over 99 for a set of nines.  But Heinzmann rivered a straight, holding Q♣7♣, to double up.

Joe Heinzmann - 28,800
