Brendon Rubie is one of the big players in today's event, and the stack he's managed to gather makes him even more dangerous. Rubie just gave us a rundown of what happened in a big pot he took down.
The young Aussie raised to 450, and got one caller. The flop brought out 
, and Rubie checked. His opponent bet 750, and Rubie check-raised to 2,600.
After he got called the turn brought out the 
. Rubie fired out 3,800, and got called once more. The river was the 
, and Rubie put his opponent all in for his final 12,000 chips.
Rubie said that his opponent called almost immediately, before he quickly mucked. Tom Grigg added that it seemed like the player in question was getting fed up with not being able to win pots, and this ended up costing him his tournament life.
Grigg, to the left of Rubie, also had a good start as he's up to 54,000 chips.

completed the board on the river and Allan's opponent bet 2,200. Allan made the call and Allan's opponent turned over 
, not strong enough for Allan's 
board, but it was clear that Dale Marsland was getting tricky. There was already a sizable pot in the middle by the time we got to the table and Marsland was busy betting 8,700. His one opponent folded and that's when Marsland turned over his 
for nothing but ace-high.
