River Drowns Rubin
Massimiliano Martinez raised under the gun only to have Paul Rubin three-bet from the cutoff. William Kakon then four-bet from the button, Joe Gualtieri called from the small blind, and the other two raises came along for the ride. Action checked to Rubin and he put out a bet, which Kakon quickly raised.
Gualtieri folded, after a clock had been called on him, as did Martinez. A call would cost Rubin the rest of his chips, and that is exactly what he did.
Kakov: 
Rubin: 
Rubin was out in front with a flopped set and in great shape to more than double. The 
brought him one step closer, but the 
on the river quickly shattered his WSOP dreams. Kakon scooped the pot as Rubin was eliminated in 34th place ($4,743).
