Rubianes Takes The 8th Spot

Level 22, Blinds: 60K/120K, Ante 120K

Vincent Rubianes was a short-stacked player for almost all of Day 2 of the APT Taipei 2023 SHR. He again open-jammed with 790,000. Yu-Chung Chang wasn’t backing out of locking horns with his rival. Rubianes revealed 5♠ 5♦. India’s Abhinav Iyer asked, “Flip?” And Chang who had J♥ J♠ replied saying, “No, No.”

The board read: A♠ 2♦ 9♥ T♠ Q♣. The Taiwanese yelled loudly for a five on the river, but that never happened. Rubianes finished 8th for a payday of TWD $532,300 (~$17,300). 

• Rubianes: 5♠ 5♦
• Chang: J♥ J♠
• Board: A♠ 2♦ 9♥ T♠ Q♣
