Ruben Pays to See Peppin's Boat
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Limits: 800-2,800
Three players saw the flop come down 3♣5♦10♥. Brad Ruben bet 2,500 from the button, which Stephen Peppin called from the small blind, and Nicholas Davidson called from middle position.
Everyone checked the 9♠ turn to see the 5♥ appear on the river. Peppin led out for 12,200 and Davidson quickly folded. Ruben took his time, looked at Peppin, who was sitting to his direct left, and then made the call.
Peppin had the goods with 10♠10♣8♣4♥ for a boat, prompting Ruben to muck.
