With the final board showing and more than 450K in the pot, Ivan Ruban thinks for a while before he bets 250,000 from UTG+1, leaving himself about 45K behind.
Wyn Pham is on the button with about 225,000 in her stack, and she goes into the tank for a very long time. If she calls, the pot will be worth more than 900K, and everyone at the table seems to be giving her as much time as she needs to think.
Pham eventually calls all in for 225,000 with for a flopped set of fours. But Ruban turns over to win the pot with a flopped set of jacks, eliminating Pham from Day 1C and catapulting to the chip lead with about a million in chips.
Ivan Ruban – 1,000,000 (167 bb)
