Rubianes Reigns

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Vincent Rubianes

Eric Froehlich opened the pot to 24,000 from the hijack seat, and Vincent Rubianes three-bet to 54,000 next door. In the small blind, Ruben Costa wanted to play for it all, and he shoved in for his last ~450,000. Froehlich quickly ducked out, but Rubianes made the call with his huge stack, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Rubianes: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Costa: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

Costa was in bad shape and drawing slim for his tournament life. The dealer wouldn't bail him out, either, running a {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} board to seal his fate. Costa was escorted to the payout desk to collect a small check, but there's nothing small about Rubianes' stack. He's got about 1.44 million now and a huge lead over the field.
