Mugar Puts a Dent in Ruban

Ivan Ruban opened to 55,000 from early position before Peter Mugar chose to re-raise to 175,000 on the button. Ruban called.

Ruban checked the 3♠2♥J♦ flop, which led to a bet of 125,000 from Mugar. Ruban was undeterred and made the call.

The 2♣ turn was checked by Ruban. Mugar kept up the pressure with a bet of 175,000.

Ruban called to bring the 6♦ river. Mugar moved all in after it was checked to him for 355,000. Ruban asked for a count before he made the call.

Mugar showed K♠K♥, which was enough to take down the pot as Ruban showed K♣J♣ for an inferior pair of jacks.
