Rubinberg Firing Day 1b

It's still early in Day 1b of HPT The Meadows, but the field already appears certain to surpass Thursday's lukewarm turnout, as there are already over 40 players sitting in.

One of those is Andy Rubinberg, a player from the Chicago area who has been one of the more successful players in mid-major events around the Midwest.

Rubinberg has been particularly successful in the MSPT, where he's booked two wins and a runner-up finish for about $360,000 in prize money. He also won the WSOP Warm-Up Main Event at Horseshoe Hammond in 2016 for over $50,000. On the HPT, he finished third in the season-ending HPT Championship back in 2008 for $31,849.

In total, Rubinberg has over $650,000 in cashes and will certainly be a player to watch here at HPT The Meadows.
