Ruberto will be going into tomorrow with the hopes of winning the title and adding another respectable cash to his already impressive resume.The Miami, Florida native has amassed a total of $2.2 million live tournament earnings and has a long history of cashes that show this is not a fluke, with his biggest cash coming in the WPT Jacksonville $3,500 No Limit Hold'em - Main Event.
Steven Tripp (38,900,000), Jean-Francois M (37,425,000), and Andres Ojeda (37,400,000) are not far behind the chip leader and will be looking to move up the ranks.
