Rudolph Loses a Chunk

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 7,500 ante

Renan Bruschi completed the blind and Christian Rudolph raised to 165,000. Bruschi peeled and the flop came {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Bruschi check-called 125,000 then 340,000 on the {7-Hearts}. The {3-Spades} checked through and Bruschi's {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} was a winner against {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

That got a "not sure if" emoji from Rudolph.

Mandavia Busted, Nuter on Fumes

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 7,500 ante

Timothy Nuter got most of his stack in pre with {8-}{8-} and had Chris Rudolph at risk but it was Rudolph holding {10-}{10-}. The tens held and Rudolph dubbed to just under 1.6 million.

Meanwhile, Ankush Mandavia also got a dominating hand in for his stack but he was less fortunate with {6-}{6-} against the {a-}{6-} of Renan Bruschi as an ace arrived on the turn.

The players have redrawn seats for the final table, which will begin shortly back at 20K/40K.

Bruschi Avoids the Bubble

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 6,000 ante

Renan Bruschi limped in the small blind and Ankush Mandavia popped it to 140K. Bruschi shoved for 1,364,261 and Mandavia was ready with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Unfortunately for him, the ace magnets were true to form as Bruschi's {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} found a bullet on the {2-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and he doubled up.

Barer's River Shove Goes Uncalled

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 6,000 ante

Ami Barer raised to 88,000 in the cutoff and Sami Kelopuro defended the big blind. Barer continued for 78,900 on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} but Kelopuro came out betting with 100,000 on the {9-Spades}. He bet far bigger on the {q-Hearts} river with 772,000 and Barer used a bit of time bank before jamming more than 1.4 million.

Kelopuro put in the "OMG" emoji as he tanked but he ultimately settled on a fold.
