DeRubeis Engineers The Early Lead
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
![Silvio DeRubeis](https://s.pnimg.net/kRxz1cSh9ON3AoBnrH9KIfIBNxmbHnoI1Z86e3WCmBw/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8x/ODk5LzY2L3hjMzUx/ZjViMWQxLmpwZw.webp)
Silvio DeRubeis smooth called a Rick Block open with aces, then did the same again when Cameron Bartolotta three-bet and Block folded.
They both checked a dry flop, but when the turn came a they went back and forth raising until all the chips got in. Bartolotta had two queens and was sent back to Canada chasing a bad beat jack pot when the river bricked.
DeRubeis, a finalist in Event #1 here Sunday, and just about every other big tournament at Seneca over the past 12 months, also added a big pot early when he made two pair on a board against a player with
wanting to get it in.
As a result, he's the Level 6 chip lead leader.
