Short Order Reuben

John Reuben has found himself with less than half his starting stack, and just doesn't seem content to simply hold on to it, having been all in preflop at least twice in the last fifteen minutes. The first time, with only 2,150, his stack crossed the line after H. Zhonkov threw in a yellow (1,000) chip, and fell into that old "I wanted to raise but I threw in just one outsize chip and so it goes as a call," hole.

"You got your raise," another player remarked to Zhonkov, who suddenly didn't seem to really want that 1,000 chip in there after all and took his change (blinds are 100/200) and folded.

Reuben moved in again on the big blind after a small blind limp, and does appear quite ready to continue doing it until a double up, or bust-out, occurs.
