Rubie Shines in Series Debut

Livello 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Brendon Rubie
Brendon Rubie

Among the final 14 we find the 21-year-old Brendon Rubie, one of the WSOP newcomers featured just before the start of this year's Series in PokerNews' "Rookie Roundup" (see here).

Prior to turning 21, the young Australian made his name online where he won over $1.8 million playing as "brendon1717" and "Brendooor." He's also had a chance to test the tourney waters outside of the U.S., having collected nearly a quarter million USD in live tourney winnings already.

His biggest live cash came at the Melbourne Poker Championship in May 2010 when he bested a field of 590 to win the $1K main event, good for a six-figure score (AU$118,000, or $104,465 USD).

As demonstrated by that earlier knockout by Rubie of Grayson Ramage -- in which Rubie opened with {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} from the button, then called Ramage's eight-BB all-in shove from the blinds -- Rubie seems to possess that willingness to take risks often associated with the younger online player for whom short-handed and heads-up play is their bread-and-butter.
