Nahum Blasts Off Then Blasts Off
Action was picked up preflop, with Ivan Ruban having placed in a three-bet from the small blind, to 200,000. Kfir Nahum, the original raiser, called from the hijack.
On a flop of 10♥K♠7♠ Ruban opted for a small continuation-bet, deciding that 100,000 was the correct size. Nahum made the call. The turn brought in the 10♣ which checked through, and Ruban checked again on the K♥ river. Nahum quickly announced "all in," and Ruban read him like a book, snapping him off.
"Oh, come on!" Nahum shouted, standing up and launching his cards towards the dealer rather than tabling them. One bounced up, and the J♥ was shown. Ruban turned over J♠J♦ and won the pot as well as the chip lead, as his stack rose to over a huge 5,000,000 chips, good for 200 big blinds.
