Ruben Takes a Chunk from Korody
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Limits: 4,000-14,000
Michael Korody made it 11,000 from under the gun and Brad Ruben three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Korody called.
On the flop of 3♠J♠10♣, the remainder of Ruben's stack of roughly 150,000 got into the middle with Korody trying to eliminate him.
Brad Ruben: A♦A♣K♦7♣ 
Michael Korody: A♠9♦4♦5♠
Korody had a flush draw against Ruben's pocket aces. The 9♣ turn gave Korody a few more outs, and the 5♣ river may have improved Korody to two pair, but Ruben hit a backdoor flush to win the pot and double-up.
While pulling in his newly earned chips, Ruben's neighbour made sure to let everyone know that he [Ruben] is "So f%#king lucky". After this statement, Ruben did confirm that he is "So f&#king lucky".
