Andrew Rudnik Eliminated in 4th Place ($40,509)
Level 28
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Ken Silberstein was first to act and opened with a preflop raise to what looked like 80,000. Rex Clinkscales folded his button and Andrew Rudnik announced that he was all in for 690,000 total. It folded back to Silberstein and he went into the tank.
A moment passed.
"I call," Silberstein quietly said.
Rudnik let out a sigh and flipped 
onto the felt. Silberstein showed 
and was in a slight lead heading to the flop. The dealer spread out 
and Silberstein's king high remained in the lead.
The 
came on fourth street and Rudnik needed to pair up in order to stay alive. Alas, the was the final card and Rudnik's tournament life came to an end. He pocketed $40,509 for his efforts.
