Robbie Verspui Eliminated in 7th Place

First to act, Andrew Rudnik raised to 125,000. It folded around to Robbie Verspui who looked down at his cards and quickly announced he was all in. Rudnik snap-called and Verspui knew he was in trouble.

Rudnik: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Verspui: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop gave us a sweat when it came {4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Verspui could now catch one of the two remaining Jacks to stay alive. This is ironically something that his opponent, Rudnik, accomplished just a few hands ago. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and for a moment Verspui thought he had it. The river was the {5-Diamonds} which brought less of a pause and Rudnik chipped up to 2 million. Verspui was crippled and left with just 125,000.

Although he had come back from this figure earlier at our final table, he would be unable to do it again. On the very next hand, he moved all in from the small blind and Rudnik put him at risk from the big blind. In order to stay alive, Verspui's {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} would need to catch up on the {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades} of Rudnik. He would find no such luck on the {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. The {10-Hearts} turn and {6-Hearts} river would brick twice and Verspui is our 7th Place finisher.
