Rubie Runs Into a Truck
Level 6
: 300/600, 50 ante
A player opened in early position to 1,200 and the player to her left called. Action folded to the big blind where Brendon Rubie called as well.
On the 
flop, action checked to the original raiser who put out a bet of 1,000. The next player folded. Rubie thought it over for a bit, then raised, making it 5,000. His opponent went all in for 525 more and Rubie quickly called.
Brendon Rubie: 
Opponent:
Rubie had less outs than he originally thought as his opponent was holding two of them herself. He bricked out as the turn was the 
and the river was the 
so with that, Rubie was forced to send over roughly a quarter of his stack to his opponent.
