Craig Rubinstein sits with 580,000 following a recent double up with pocket aces.
Craig Rubinstein has been floating at or below the average stack for much of Day 2, but a recent double up might be what Rubinstein needs to start climbing the leaderboard.
From early position, Philipp Knirck opened with a raise to 30,000 and Rubinstein three-bet to 73,000 from middle position. The action folded back around to Knirck and he called.
On the 9♥6♦3♥ flop, Knirck bet 80,000. Rubinstein moved all in for 217,000 and after a moment, Knirck called.
Rubinstein flipped A♥A♦ to the dismay of Knirck, who held 10♥10♣.
The K♦ turn and 9♣ river completed the board, sealing the double up for Rubinstein.
Craig Rubinstein – 580,000
Philipp Knirck – 248,000
