Darren Ribinowitz opened with a raise from the button only to have Vincent Rubianes three-bet all in from the small blind. The big folded, Ribinowitz snap-called and the cards were turned up/
Ribinowitz:
Rubianes: 
Rubianes had picked the wrong spot and in was in dire straits. The 
flop gave Rubianes a jack, but it also put a pair of sixes on board. That meant Rubianes would need to catch another jack to overcome Ribinowitz's aces and sixes. The 
turn wasn't what he was looking for and neither was the river.
Rubianes was eliminated in fifth place and exited to the loving arms of his supporters on the rail.
