Blind-on-Blind Action

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Vincent Rubianes opened with a raise to 130,000 from the small blind. Next door, Tyler Kenney made the call, and off they went to the flop.

It came {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Spades}, and Rubianes continued out with 165,000. Kenney called the bet, and the turn came the scary {5-Spades}. That drew another leading bet from Rubianes -- 415,000 this time. Kenney flatted once again, and another scare card, the {8-Diamonds} filled out the board on fourth street. Rubianes slowed down now with a check, and Kenney checked it back.

Rubianes showed up {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} for the overpair, and it was good. Rubianes takes down that pot of well over a million chips, climbing to

With Kenney sliding back to 2.44 million, Rubianes has taken the chip lead with 3.059 million.

Vincent Rubianes raised to 110,000, and Tyler Kenney called next door to go heads up the rest of the way.

The flop came {2-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, and Rubianes continued out with another 135,000, and Kenney stuck in a raise to 310,000 total. Rubianes paid off the bet to see another card, and the {6-Spades} appeared on the turn. Check to the raiser, and Kenney fired another bullet worth 435,000 chips. Rubianes stacked up the call and plunked it into the pot after a couple minutes of consideration.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}, and Rubianes knocked the table again. Kenney took pause for a couple minute before reaching for chips one last time. He made a bet that went unannounced, and Rubianes' cards quickly hit the muck.

Kenney took a couple hands off from being chip leader, but he's back in the top spot once again with 3.41 million.

Shak Takes a Little One

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

For the second hand in a row, Dan Shak opened to 125,000, this time from the cutoff seat. This time, Vincent Rubianes called in position, and the two men went off to the flop heads-up.

It rolled out {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {Q-Spades} pair the board on fourth street. Shak now led out with a delayed continuation bet worth 125,000, and Rubianes paid to see the last card.

It was the {8-Clubs}, and Shak made a repeat bet of 125,000, which Rubianes again called down. Shak turned up {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for queens and jacks, and it was good enough to collect the pot.
