Rubie Shines On

[user135779]

The action folded around to Brendon Rubie who open-shoved for 20,000. The opponent on the button called, tabling {a-Spades}

and was ahead of Rubie's {a-Diamonds}

.

It was back and forth between the two when the flop and turn was spread {q-Clubs}

, but Rubie managed to strike gold - the river {q-Hearts}

giving him chips and a huge pot.

The opponent is still in the tournament, but doesn't appear to be too happy. Rubie is all smiles, now on 42,000 in chips.

Mahrenholz Busted

[user76023]

Karl Mahrenholz has been eliminated. He had lost most of his chips when he 3-bet preflop holding {Q-Hearts}

against an opponent who called with {A-Clubs}

. The latter open-shoved on a {Q-Diamonds}

flop, Mahrenholz called but couldn't catch a jack on the {5-Hearts}

turn or

river.

He has since gone missing from his table and we're assuming he was unable to recover.

Stead-y as he Goes

[user135779]

Kerry Stead has moved up to 48,000 in chips after taking a huge chunk of change off another opponent.

The money was all in the middle preflop and Stead found himself in a flip, holding {a-Spades}

against the opponent's {2-Spades}

.

The board of {8-Spades}

gave both players the flush but Stead had it made with what the young kids call, "the nizzles".

Karita: {7-Spades}
