Ruben Puras

Ruben Puras was all in preflop with QxQx, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Matthew Yorra’s KxKx.

The board came Kx10x7xQxXx — Yorra flopped a set of kings, Puras turned a set of queens, and the river card wasn’t a queen. Yorra won the pot with his higher set to eliminate Puras in 17th place.
