Rudolph Scores a Double-Up on the First Hand
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On the first hand of Day 3, there was already an all-in and a call at table #11, with Christian Rudolph’s tournament life on the line.
Christian Rudolph: A♣A♥ 
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka: A♠K♦
Rudolph found himself on the right side of the cooler, while Tsiareshchanka needed significant help from the board. The dealer spread a flop of 9♥K♠2♣, giving Tsiareshchanka a glimmer of hope, but the 6♦ turn and 2♥ river provided no further improvement. Tsiareshchanka was left with just two big blinds.
