Rubin Takes From Bills

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Aviel Rubin opened to 400 from the hijack and Michael Bills three-bet to 1,300 from the button. Action folded back to Rubin who added the remainder to call.

The dealer spread a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Rubin checked. Bills bet 1,200 and Rubin check-called.

The turn brought the {q-Spades} and was checked through to the {6-Diamonds} river. This time, Rubin led out with a bet of 3,000 and Bills took a few seconds of reflection, then called. Rubin turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens and Bills showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} before sending his cards to the muck.
