The turn was the Ac, Amarapu bet, Rubinstein raised and Amarapu called.

The river was the 9c, Amarapu bet his remaining 10,000-ish and Rubinstein called.

Michael Rosenberg bubbles in 10th place

Cory Zeidman limped from early position, Donny Rubinstein did the same from middle position and Michael Rosenberg checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came down Qh9d8c and action checked to Rubinstein who bet. Rosenberg mulled it over for a bit before he check-raised all in for about 11,000. Zeidman folded and Rubinstein called.

Rubinstein showed AsAhQs9h for top two pair, while Rosenberg trailed with  AdKdJc4d.

The 9s turn locked up pot for Rubinstein with nines full of queens, rendering the 8d river moot.

Donny Rubinstein – 146,000
Michael Rosenberg – Eliminated on the Money Bubble

Robert Brown

Robert Brown has been among the big stacks for most of the day and now he owns the biggest. He was heads-up against an opponent with the flop reading KsQs9s and moved all in for ~120,000.

His JsJd was in bad shape against kings-up KcQc but had a flush draw/gutshot draw to stay in the game. The Td turn filled his straight and he dodged a boat on the 4c river to move up to 325,000.
