Shortly after doubling table-opponent Sebastien Fortier for 1,015,000 chips, Ruben has just bounced back up the leaderboard by winning a little over 1 million chips, without even seeing a flop.
Daniel Le opened to 175,000 from middle position, and Ruben replied with a 3bet to 405,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Daniel announced a raise up to 975,000. Ruben glanced over at the dealer, and quietly announced all-in, forcing Daniel into the tank.
Daniel assessed the situation, and concluded that a fold was his best play at the moment, forfeiting over 1/3 of his chips to a very dangerous opponent. Daniel now holds a little over 1.5 million, while Ruben is just shy of 3 million – putting him slightly behind current chip leader Said Michailidis.
