Rudy Blondeau the Unlucky Bubble Boy

Blond'oh!
Blond'oh!

Finishing in 37th spot, and therefore missing out on the not-inconsiderable mincash of £21,106 is Rudy Blondeau. With a stack just shy of 200k it was a pretty chunky pot too, which headed over to join the party in Brian Powell's stack. Blondeau raised to 9,500, Powell repopped him preflop and it was all-in-call in a heartbeat.

Blondeau: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Powell: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

The flop brought a low draw-appreciative, "Oooooh" from the other players who'd bunched round to watch like hyenas around the body of a zebra as it came {7-Spades} {J-Hearts} {K-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, however, and the river the {4-Spades} which meant a straight-faced Blondeau did the dignified thing, handshaking round and heading for the exit with no fuss.
