Cheong Doubles Through Rubie

Brendon Rubie
Brendon Rubie

We're not sure of the preflop action as we arrived when the cards were already tabled, but we do know that Joseph Cheong and Brendon Rubie butted heads and the result was the former being all in for 225,000.

Showdown
Rubie: {K-}{10-}
Cheong: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Rubie was behind and his best chance of eliminating the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event third-place finisher was to catch a king. Lucky for Cheong, the deck favored him and the board ran out {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.
