Rubinberg Busts Barill

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Rubinberg opened for a raise in late position and then called the shove of Alex Barill, who had about 68,000.

Rubinberg: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Barill: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Barill coudn't pull off his magic with sevens again, as Rubinberg flopped a set and then turned Barill dead with a full house.

More for Alexander, Horodysky Out

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We found Matt Alexander all in once more preflop, this time against Alexander Horodysky for 121,000. Alexander had {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, and it held up against Horodysky's {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} as the board came {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

A player told us it's Horodysky's first tournament traveling out of Chicago, and he busted out moments later after being left with just 14,000.

Alexander, meanwhile, has climbed back to about what he was at before a precipitous fall early in the day.

Alexander Doubles Through Pupillo

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Alexander
Matt Alexander

Matt Alexander shipped under the gun for 63,000, and action folded to the big blind, Nick Pupillo, who called after thinking only briefly.

"Nobody respects the under-the-gun raise," Alexander said, flipping {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. "We're probably flipping."

He was right, as Pupillo had {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. A board of {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} meant Alexander held on for the win with jacks and fives.

Ehlen Binks on Payne

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Kris Ehlen
Kris Ehlen

Kris Ehlen bet 24,000 from the big blind on a {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, and Ken Payne put about 130,000 into the pot. Ehlen shoved for 155,000, and Payne called.

Payne: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Ehlen: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Ehlen had some outs, but he missed the {j-Diamonds} turn. The {3-Spades} river gave him a winning set, though.

"Whoo!" he yelled in celebration.

Fiedler Doubles Through Fliginger

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Thane Fliginger opened for a raise under the gun and then called the 65,000 shove of Kevin Fiedler.

Fiedler: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Fliginger: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The board ran out clean for Fiedler, who doubled up.

Two Cards, Two Outs

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Zach Tabak
Zach Tabak

Alex Barill pushed all in from early position with about 60,000, and Zach Tabak called off his stack of 35,000 or so.

Tabak: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Barill: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop was no help to Barill, but all of the help came on the {7-Hearts} turn and {7-Clubs} river.

Deis Bubbles Out

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Mike Deis
Mike Deis

We found Mike Deis all in from the small blind for 85,500, having been called by big blind Nicholas Pupillo.

Pupillo: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Deis: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Deis was live, but nobody flopped anything on {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The {a-Clubs} turn left the current Mid-States Poker Tour Player of the Year drawing dead, and players are redrawing for new seats as the Michigan native leaves with empty pockets and no points.
