We walked up too late to see the opening raise, but Keith Hawkins had opened the pot, and Brendan Rubie had moved all in for 58,500 on top. The raise and the pull-in put 51,500 chips in the middle, so Hawkins was getting just about two-to-one on his call. It represented a significant chunk of his remaining stack, and he finally convinced himself to make the call to put Rubie at risk.
Showdown
Hawkins: 
Rubie: 
The flop was a disaster for Rubie as it came down 
to vault Hawkins into a big lead with his two pair. The turn would open the door a door just a bit as the 
gave the Aussie another nine outs to work with, drawing live to the spade flush. His mates Eric Assadourian, Tony Hachem, and Aaron Benton came to life on the rail yelling, "Come on, Rubie!" Assadourian shouted over top of the chaos, "Which one you want? A jack or a spade?"
Rubie was clearly a bit nervous standing behind his chair. "Whichever one wins," he said quietly.
The 
definitely wins, and that river card improved Rubie to the winning straight and secured his double up. He's back to 170,000 now, and he was rewarded with a big "Boom-shaka-laka!!!" from Assadourian after the hand.
