Rubie Doubles

Brendon Rubie found himself sitting on a much shorter stack than he was an hour ago. We caught up to the action to see his opponent call Rubie's all in.

Rubie: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

We were off to the races but Rubie jumped way ahead when the flop fell {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The board finished with the {K-Hearts} and the {2-Spades} and Rubie was able to double up and is currently sitting on a stack of about 240,000.
