Brad Ruben Eliminated in 6th Place ($81,317)
The action started with a raise by James Chen and Brad Ruben called in the cutoff, as did Luis Velador. Once Ben Lamb called in the big blind, Velador joked "oh no, not that guy again" and Lamb replied "I probably gonna buy it" before they headed to the A♦K♥3♦ flop.
Lamb bet and that forced out Chen while Ruben then opted to raise. Velador got out of the way and Lamb inquired how much Ruben had behind before he called.
"You got four?!" Lamb asked once more and Ruben nodded when they were on the 2♣ turn. Lamb then bet, Ruben got it in and was snapped off.
Brad Ruben: A♠7♦2♠2♦
Ben Lamb: A♥Q♥5♦4♠
Lamb had hit gin on the turn with the wheel and nut low but wasn't secured the entire pot yet against a set and flush draw. However, the J♥ river was a brick and that knocked out Ruben in sixth place in the last hand before the first break.
