There was a big reaction to a river card in the middle of the floor at Horseshoe Las Vegas.
According to the players, Michael Rubinelli had raised from middle position and Troy Smothermon three-bet all in on the button. After it folded back to Rubinelli, he quickly called for his stack of 68,000 chips.
Michael Rubinelli: A♠A♦
Troy Smothermon: 4♠4♣
Upon seeing his opponent’s hand, Smotherman called for the four of diamonds. The flop came J♥4♦A♣, giving Smothermon his desired card, but Rubinelli made the better set and was still way ahead.
The turn was the 9♠. Smothermon called for his only out, the 4♥, and, to Rubinelli’s shock and dismay, got his wish again on the river. The dramatic hand gave Smothermon a nice chip-up, while Rubinelli had to hit the rail.
Second color up break of the day got moved to a new way more aggressive table. Coming back to 2k/4k blinds
