Brendon Rubie Grabs The Early Chip Lead

It was a limped pot at table 21 before Jim Pizanias min-raised to 400 from the small blind. Brendon Rubie called from the big blind and the under the gun limper, Joesph Moussa called as well.

The flop was {9-Clubs}

and Moussa led out for 2,600. Pizanias folded, and Rubie put in a raise to 6,500. Moussa would not be deterred, quickly throwing in another raise to 26,000 prompting a rather immediate all-in declaration from Rubie, who slid in his chips to the center of the table. It was 13,000 for Moussa to call and he counted out his chips before finally making the call.

Rubie flipped over {Q-Hearts}

for the flopped nuts, and Moussa turned over {J-Clubs}

for the second best hand. The {K-Spades}

turn, and the {4-Diamonds}

river were no help to Moussa and the pot was awarded to Rubie.

Brendon Rubie chipped up to 80,000 on the hand, and Moussa was left with about 10,000.
