Wise Words from Rudd
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of Q♠J♦8♣8♠Q♥, the pot was already swelled to 310,000 when Thomas Morris set out a bet of 75,000 after a check from Christopher Rudd.
Rudd then went into the tank for a good 20 seconds before he made the call, but was then shown 7♥8♥ by Morris for a full house.
"Aghh!" Rudd sighed as he tossed his cards into the muck to award Morris the large pot.
Left with only 135,000, Rudd then got it all in the very next hand with 9♣9♦ against the A♠J♥ of Miralem Mujkic. Unfortunately, the board ran out 3♦4♦5♥7♥2♦ to give Mujkic the wheel straight on the river and Rudd was eliminated.
"Well, I play good until I don't," he said as he made his way to the payout desk.
