Tabac Freerolls Rubiralta Out of Main Event
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a pot worth roughly 55,000, Mihai Tabac bet 25,000 from under the gun on the 8♥6♣7♣5♦ turn. Gerard Rubiralta then raised to 75,000, to which Tabac responded by moving all in.
Rubiralta quickly called off his total stack of 160,000, and the players flipped over their cards.
Gerard Rubiralta: A♠9♠ 
Mihai Tabac: K♣9♣
"Ay, ay, ay," Rubiralta lamented when he saw Tabac had a flush draw to go along with his straight.
His gut feeling was correct, as the Q♣ river upgraded Tabac to a flush to knock out one of the 2025 PokerStars Live League winners.
