Flight A Chip Leader Tony Ruberto

Two players busted on the money bubble, locking up Day 2 seats for the remaining 51 players.

At Table 17, Stuart Greenbaum opened to 22,000 from under the gun. The next player to act three-bet shoved for 78,000, and Gerald Fehr four-bet shoved for about 115,000 from the button. Greenbaum folded, and the hands were kept face down as action at the other tables finished.

Meanwhile at Table 9, Tony Ruberto raised from under the gun, the player in the cutoff three-bet shoved for about 150,000, and Ruberto called.

Once all other action was complete, the hands were revealed. Fehr held JdJs and was racing with his opponent’s AdKs, while Ruberto tabled KhKs and was dominating his opponent’s AsQh. Both Fehr and Ruberto’s hands held up, bringing Flight A to an end.

With that last pot, Ruberto took the chip lead with 555,000. We’ll have complete chip counts for the Flight A survivors in an hour or so.
