Joseph Duchman limped from under the gun, Michael Newman limped from early position, and Tony Ruberto raised to 2,500 from the cutoff. Both Duchman and Newman called.

They checked to the turn of a KcKh5hJh board where Ruberto bet 3,500. Duchman check-folded, Newman check-raised to 15,000, and Ruberto called all in for 12,450.

Newman: Ks9h
Ruberto: AhJs

Newman led with trip kings against Ruberto’s two pair and flush draw, but the river was the 7h to give Ruberto a winning ace-high flush.

Tony Ruberto – 33,500 (67 bb)
Michael Newman – 17,500 (35 bb)
