Scott Wilson opened for 80,000 under the gun and Brendon Rubie flatted from the small blind. Rob Angood then decided to exercise his option in the big blind with a three-bet to 296,000. Both his opponents gave it some thought, but ultimately laid down their hands. Good thing they did too, as Angood rolled over !
In the last hand before the break, we had a monster pot develop, the largest of the tournament so far. It happened when action folded to Brendon Rubie in the small blind and he bumped it up to 80,000, which Rob Angood three-bet to 211,000 from the big. Rubie took a few moments before four-betting 211,000 more, Angood moved all in, and Rubie snap-called.
Showdown
Rubie:
Angood:
A few minutes before this hand developed, Angood had told Rubie that he thought they'd be playing a big hand soon, and he wasn't kidding. Unfortunately for him, he got his money in at the worst possible time. The flop gave Angood a few runner-runner possibilities, but the turn tore them away and left him drawing dead.
The was put out on the river for good measure as Rubie doubled to 4.4 million while Angood was left with 950,000.
After Scott Wilson had folded, John Thomson moved all in from the button for his last 450,000 or so. Brendon Rubie then moved all in over the top, forcing Rob Angood to fold the big blind.
Showdown

Rubie:
Thomson's solid image allowed him to coast deeper and deeper into the money, but his run came to an end in fourth place as the board ran out . "Thanks guys," Thomson said as he shook hands with the remaining three players. "I've had a lot of fun."
Indeed, Thomson wore a big smile on his face and was gracious in defeat. He will take home $61,000 AUD for his performance.
Rob Angood, who lost most of his chips to Brendon Rubie, just had his tournament life ended by the same culprit. It happened when Angood got all in preflop holding and was racing against the of Rubie.
The in the window was bad news for Angood, as was the rest of the flop . . . . He would need a seven or running cards to stay alive, but it was not in the cards as the and appeared on the turn and river. Angood was eliminated in third place, good for $80,000 AUD.
