Ruben is running strong in Mixed Games in the 20’s at the WSOP, scoring online bracelets in 2020 – $1,500 PLO ($220,160) and 2021 – $600 6-Max PLO ($69,148; and two live bracelets as well, with a 2021 $1,500 Razz ($99,188) and a 2022 $1,500 Dealer’s Choice ($126,288) score.
The overwhelming majority of Ruben’s slightly-more-than-a-Milly in career earnings comes from the past four year in WSOP-affiliated competitions.
