Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Robert Rufo had a big rail of friends and family watching him in his first WSOP event when he was seen leaving.

He said "I had five big blinds and shoved all-in with off-suit and a guy with pocket Jacks called and busted me"

Hendon Mob shows that he has a total of 16 daily cash tournaments ranging from $80 to $150 dollars from various local casinos in 2021 and is the definition of a true grinder from the low stakes who made a deep run today.

He cashes $3,000 to add to his total of $7,193 in the daily tournaments here in Las Vegas.
