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

The Omaha 8 tournament recently came back from their first break and the field moved over 50 entries while they were gone. A fine turnout for the specialty game so far with more expected.
