Ruban Has the Goods
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Ivan Ruban put his big stack to work with a raise to 30,000 on the button, which only Jeremy Becker called in the big blind.
The action checked through on the 3♣5♥6♣ flop, and Becker checked once more on the A♣ turn. Ruban picked his betting lead back up on this street, putting 65,000 into the middle, which Becker called.
The 4♠ completed the board, and Becker checked one final time, again calling when Ruban bet 55,000.
Ruban flipped over A♠7♥, with his rivered straight good enough to lay claim to the pot as Becker mucked his hand.
