Ruban Leaves Alex-Barton Short
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The action folded to Ivan Ruban in the small blind, who limped in before calling a raise to 100,000 from Charles Alex-Barton in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 10♠8♣J♠ flop, promoting Ruban to lead out for 100,000 on the 8♠ turn, which Alex-Barton called.
Ruban opted for the same bet, 100,000, on the K♦ river, but this time Alex-Barton folded, leaving himself with less than ten big blinds.
