Rubinberg Takes Three-Bet Pot from Lazar

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tony Lazar raised to 27,000 in middle position and then called a three-bet to 60,000 from Andrew Rubinberg on his left, though Lazar took his time doing so. Both players checked the flop, and the turn made the board {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Lazar checked, and Rubinberg bet 50,000. After a few minutes of thought and quiet discussion with Rubinberg, Lazar let his hand go.

Beat Sends Zarlenga Packing

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jason Zarlenga took a bad beat.
Jason Zarlenga took a bad beat.

We found Jason Zarlenga all in with {10-}{10-} preflop against the {a-Spades}{7-Spades} of Mark Soik. The flop was safe, {4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, for Zarlenga, but he was left shaking his head after an {a-Diamonds} turn. The river was a meaningless {3-Spades}, and stacks were counted down. Zarlenga had about 160,000, while Soik had about 175,000.

Rubinberg Keeps Running Hot

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Joe Matheson opened for 28,000 and was called by only Andrew Rubinberg. Matheson bet 30,000 on the {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop, and Rubinberg put out a raise to an unknown amount. Matheson shoved all in, and Rubinberg called.

Rubinberg: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Matheson: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Rubinberg snagged his flush on the {q-Diamonds} turn, leaving Matheson drawing dead.
