Luis Rufas Extends His Chip Lead

[user169505]

Luis Rufas finished in 41st place at this event last year. This year he has his eyes firmly set on a higher finish and at the moment he can do no wrong.

We caught up with him as he took 8,800 from EPT Vilamoura winner Toby Lewis after Lewis folded to a Rufas raise on a flop we didn't quite catch. Then while he was still counting his chips up he nonchalantly looked at his cards and threw 1,425 in for a raise. A player a few seat to his left pushed all-in for 11,275 and after a little think Rufas reluctantly made the call.

Rufas: {a-Spades} {6-Hearts}

All-in Dude: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Spades} {q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} and Rufas added the 11,275 to the stack he was still trying hard to stack up after his last win.
