Loeliger's Boat Gains Speed; Ruban Busts

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ivan Ruban in the small blind raised to 120,000 and Paulina Loeliger in the big blind called.

The dealer spread Q♦4♦8♣. Ruban kept the pressure with an 85,000 bet. Loeliger called again.

On the turn A♣, Ruban pressed hard and bet 380,000. Loeliger thought for a moment before making the call once again.

Finally on the river A♦, Ruban fired 1,000,000 sending Loeliger into a depp tank. After around a minute, she shoved all-in for 1,485,000.

It was Ruban's turn to mull things over. He made the call and showed 6♦5♦ for a flush. He looked visibly disappointed when Loeliger tabled A♥8♠ for a full house.

The dealer pushed the pot to Loeliger's side, leaving Ruban with only 80,000 chips left.

Ruban wasn't able to recover as ended up getting it in with 10♠9♥ against the A♣J♦ of Maxim Lykov, and the 7♥7♣ of Abhishek Mhatre.

The board ran out A♠5♥2♣6♣10♦, sending Ruban home, while Lykov doubled through Mhatre
