Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Andy Rubinberg

In the last hand of the third level with 5,500 in the pot, Andy Rubinberg was heads up in the small blind against the player in the big blind. The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Rubinberg bet 2,500. His opponent called, bringing the {2-Diamonds} turn. Rubinberg checked, and his opponent bet 4,200. Rubinberg called, and the river came a {2-Spades}, bringing three of a kind to the board. Rubinberg shoved for around a pot sized bet, and his opponent instantly mucked his {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} face up, exclaiming that it was the worst possible river he could have seen.

The two talked about the hand for another few seconds, and Rubinberg revealed that the river actually helped his opponent. He told him he had {q-}{q-} and had turned the full house.
