The Ruddy Luck of It

Yes, the man with the great surname for titling blogs (and the comfortable 210,000 stack) Joe Ruddy has just eliminated Roy "The Boy" Brindley. Having headed only downwards today, the rest of his stack found its way into the middle with {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}, called by Ruddy with {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. The flop brought a set of fives for Ruddy, and the crowd gave the popular Irishman a round of applause as Brindley headed to collect his €4,900.
