Big River Value for Ruban
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
When play folded to Ivan Ruban on the button, he raised to 125,000, which only Zexiang Sun called in the big blind.
Sun checked in flow on the K♥3♦2♣ flop, but when Ruban continued for 110,000, he check-raised to 300,000. Ruban put in the call.
Both players checked the 7♥ turn, and the 9♥ river completed the board.
Sun checked again, but this time, Ruban didn't check behind. Instead, he put a hefty 750,000 into the middle. Sun took his time in making a decision, and once he decided to call, he received immediate bad news. Ruban flipped over his A♠A♥, and Sun responded by flicking his cards face down towards the muck.
