Zappulla Doubles Through Rubin
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of J♥J♠3♣9♣A♥ with 1,100,000 in the pot, Harry Rubin in the small blind bet 675,000, and Paul Zappulla on the button went deep into the tank. The clock was called, but Zappulla eventually folded.
In the next hand, with a board of Q♣10♣A♦8♦, Rubin potted to 2,440,000. Once again, Zappulla went deep into the tank, but this time, he called off his last 2,350,000.
Paul Zappulla: J♠10♠10♦9♠
Harry Rubin: K♥J♣10♥8♥
Zappulla had flopped a set of tens, but Rubin had flopped Broadway. The turn gave Zappulla an inferior straight, but the Q♠ landed on the river, improving Zappulla to tens-full and securing a double-up.
