Rubie Chipping Away

Scott Wilson raised preflop and received a call from Brendon Rubie. When the flop came dwon {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Rubie checked, Wilson bet 100,000, and Rubie check-raised to 275,000. Not to be outdone, Wilson three-bet to 650,000, which Rubie called.

Both players checked the {A-Spades} turn, and the {5-Hearts} hit the river. Rubie led out for 450,000 and Wilson called, the latter mucking when his opponent turned over {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a full house!

Rubie Getting It Back

Brendon Rubie took down the first couple of hands after the break. The last hand that Rubie won played out like this. Rubie opened from the button and Scott Wilson made the call.

The {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop saw Wilson check-call a bet of 125,000 from Rubie. The {4-Spades} saw Wilson check-call yet again, this time when Rubie bet 275,000. When the {4-Diamonds} landed on the river, Wilson again checked but this time he would fold when Rubie bet 300,000.

Wilson Down to Just 300K

Brendon Rubie opened preflop for 125,000 and Scott Wilson three-bet to 250,000. Rubie made the call and then watched as the flop came down {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Wilson led out for 350,000, Rubie called, and the {Q-Spades} hit the turn. This time Wilson checked, Rubie bet 325,000, and Wilson called.

When the {A-Clubs} hit the turn, Wilson checked, Rubie slid out a huge stack, what turned out to be 1.2 million, and Wilson called. Rubie confidently rolled over {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and seemed to know he was good. Indeed he was as Wilson tossed his cards to the muck.

Rubie went over to the rail to celebrate, thinking he had won, but when the stacks were counted down, Wilson was left with 300,000. A chip and a chair, folks.
