High Sails for Ruban's Boat
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Ivan Ruban opened to 325,000 and got an all-in shove from the man to his immediate left, Timothy Joyner, for around 1,600,000. Action folded around back to Ruban, who called.
Timothy Joyner: Q♦J♦ 
Ivan Ruban: 10♥10♣
Ruban caught a set on the flop of 10♠K♦8♣ but Joyner still had hope with an open-ended straight draw. The runout 5♠J♣ didn't give him his straight and improved Ruban's hand to a full house. Joyner's deep run ended as the tournament got smaller and fiercer.
