Rubie Climbing Back
With many small pots and three showdowns, Brendon Rubie has increased his stack slightly again to narrowly close the gap to Michael Dix. Rubie once had 
for middle pair paid off for 80,000 on the river and another small pot saw him make two pair on turn and river with the 
without any further bets.
Then, Dix raised to 80,000 and Rubie called. On the 
flop, Rubie check-called a bet of 80,000 and did so again for 180,000 on the 
turn. Both players checked the 
river and Dix showed king-queen only for Rubie to claim the pot with 
.
The last big pot of the level ended in a raising war and split pot. Rubie had min-raised and Dix called before both checked the 
flop and the 
turn. On the 
river, Dix bet 80,000, Rubie made it 320,000 and then called once Dix squeezed to 820,000. Both players had made a straight with 
(Rubie) respectively (Dix).
