Back in February, Andy Rubinberg won the MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship for $120,808. Placing third in that same event was Byron Ziebell, who took home $42,555 for his performance. Interestingly, those two are seated at the same table and just squared off in a small pot.
It happened when Rubinberg, who is on the shorter side of things, opened for 4,000 from middle position and Ziebell called from the button. The blinds both folded, the flop came down , and Rubinberg continued for 5,500.
Ziebell made the call and then both players checked the turn and river.
“Queen high,” Rubinberg admitted, which prompted Ziebell to table the winning .
Byron Ziebell - 110,000
Andy Rubinberg - 22,000
