Ruys Busts His Neighbor
Hijack Joris Ruys raised to 1,100 and his neighbor in the cutoff made the call. Pieter de Korver squeezed to 4,500 from the small blind and both Ruys and his neighbor called.
The flop came 
and De Korver bet 6,400 with about 30,000 behind. Ruys, who had both his neighbor and De Korver covered, shoved all in. The cutoff called all in for about 25,000 and the decision was on De Korver. The EPT champion tanked for some bit, before reluctantly folding his cards.
Joris Ruys: 
Cutoff: 
The 
on the turn was a blank and the cutoff, who had gotten up by this time, said several words we didn't quite understand, probably asking the dealer in his own language for a blank.
The dealer didn't understand him either, so much was clear as the 
hit the river and the cutoff was eliminated.
"Yes! He got there!" De Korver said, happy he had made a fold that ended up being good for him.
"I folded the best hand on the flop" added De Korver as the cutoff was already on his way to the exit.
