Rubino's Deuces Hold Up (full)

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Just before the second break, we picked up the action pre-flop where the big blind raised to 2150, and was called by Rubino in the hijack, the player in the cutoff, and the small blind.

With a dark check from the small blind, the flop came {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The hijack bet 3000, and the cutoff folded. The small blind called the 3000, putting him all-in.

Rubino: {2-}{2-}
Small blind: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The turn and river brought the {3-Diamonds} and {K-Clubs}. Rubino's deuces held up, and he picked up a 12,000 pot, growing his stack to 17,775.

Lee Eliminated

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

According to Mike "Squirrel" Anderson, he and Bernard Lee got all in preflop with {Q-}{Q-} and {j-}{j-}, respectively. Lee jumped in front after a {j-}{10-}{9-} flop, but the squirrel found a nut when a King hit the turn, giving him a straight. Lee didn't hit his chop outs on the river, and Anderson took all of his chips.

Rae Busts One

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Doralee Rae
Doralee Rae

With the board reading {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, an early position player goes all in for his final 2,100. Doralee Rae calls from the cutoff.

When the hands are turned up, the early position player showed {K-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Rae tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

The {A-Diamonds} turn gave Rae top two pair and the {2-Spades} river did not improve her opponent's hand.
