Nahum Blasts Off Then Blasts Off

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ivan Ruban
Ivan Ruban

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 10K7 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 JJ 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.
