'Always Has it Brad' Strikes Again

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Brad Ruben
Brad Ruben

Brad Ruben had made it 22,500 to go preflop, and then Jason Daly moved all in for almost 100,000, which Ruben snap-called.

"Oh man, of course he has it," Daly sighed as Ruben flipped over AA.

"That's why we call him 'Always Has it Brad'," Will Leffingwell chimed in as Daly tabled AQ.

The runout of 27344 was of no assistance to Daly and he was sent to the rail as Ruben was pushed the pot, making him the chip leader.

Fitzpatrick Takes from Leffingwell

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On the flop of 710Q, Will Leffingwell had made it 3,500 to go but was then raised to 15,100 by Jason Fitzpatrick to his left, which he called.

The turn came the 7, pairing the board and Leffingwell checked to Fitzpatrick, who then set out a tower of chips to cover Leffingwell, which resulted in a quick fold.

Ruben Gets There to Scoop

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After an open to 2,600, Brad Ruben three-bet to 10,400 and Kanishak Sethi, Howard Weston, and Jason Hickey, who was all in for less.

The flop came out JQ8 and the action checked through the three players on the side to see the 2 on the turn. Weston and Sethi checked to Ruben again, who bet 14,500 and was called by Sethi to see the 4 fall on the river.

Sethi checked once more, and Ruber set out a stack big enough to cover, and Sethi went into the tank. After a few moments, he shook his head and folded the J, much to the surprise of the table.

"Good fold," Ruben assured him as he flipped over AK for the rivered nut flush to take down the pot, eliminating Hickey, who held QJ for two-pair.

Nowling Busts Bibbs

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Larry Bibbs moved all in preflop and Jeffrey Nowling made the call to put him at risk.

Larry Bibbs: AQ
Jeffrey Nowling: 1010

Bibbs would need some help to stay alive, but the runout of 76335 was not his friend and he was sent to the rail.

Yurasits Spikes the Turn on Feng

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of J109, Ernest Yurasits had bet 13,000 but then Han Feng moved all in, covering him.

"Alright, let's do it," Yurasits announced after he thought it over and tossed in his chips.

Ernest Yurasits: QQ
Han Feng: 99

Feng was in the lead with his set of nines, but Yurasits could still hit any queen, king, or eight for the win. Sure enough, the turn 8 immediately gave him the straight and then just needed to fade the board pairing.

The river was the brick 2 and Yurasits was awarded the substantial pot for the double up.
