, action checked all the way to the player on the button, who bet 400. Michael Guzzardi called that bet from early position before Rubie check-raised to 1,200. Only the button called.

Rubie chcked the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

turn to the button, who fired again for 1,200. Again Rubie check-raised, this time all in for 2,325. The button called with two pair, {A-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

, and was drawing very slim against Rubie's {7-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

. The river bricked out {J-Hearts}
