Ruben Shoves First Hand; Fawcett Exits

Kirk Brown

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

"Sick table draw," Brent Roberts says as PokerNews arrives at the scence of a big pot in progress.

There was over 22,000 the middle on a board that read K♥8♦A♠Q♣J♦ and Brad Ruben had just moved all in, covering Justin Fawcett.

"A stone bluff, that's all I can beat," Fawcett announced shaking his head, and after a few more moments, he tossed in his cards to award the pot to Ruben.

Left short, Fawcett fell to Brent Roberts the following hand when he made a straight on the turn but Roberts made a bigger straight on the river to send him to the registration line.
