Wilson Moving Up

The action was opened to 100,000 by Scott Wilson. Brendon Rubie then three-bet to 250,000 and Wilson made the call as the {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop was dealt.

On the flop, Rubie led for 175,000 and Wilson made the call as the {a-Clubs} hit the felt. Rubie continued his betting, throwing out a 200,000-chip bet. Wilson again made the call and the {2-Hearts} was dealt on the river.

Rubie thought for several moments on the river before deciding to check. It only take a few seconds before Wilson announced he was all in. Rubie let his hand go and Wilson took down the pot to gain some ground on Rubie.

Rob Angood Eliminated in 3rd Place ($80,000 AUD)

Rob Angood, who lost most of his chips to Brendon Rubie, just had his tournament life ended by the same culprit. It happened when Angood got all in preflop holding {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and was racing against the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} of Rubie.

The {J-Diamonds} in the window was bad news for Angood, as was the rest of the flop . . . {10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. He would need a seven or running cards to stay alive, but it was not in the cards as the {9-Diamonds} and {9-Spades} appeared on the turn and river. Angood was eliminated in third place, good for $80,000 AUD.
