Rudolph Doubles Through Bruschi

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

Action folded to the small blind, where Renan Bruschi shoved. Chris Rudolph was all too happy to call it off with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} and he saw two undercards shown in {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

The {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} had Bruschi dead by the turn.

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.

Barer Three-Bets the Flop

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

In the cutoff, Ami Barer opened for 92,000 in the last hand at 40K and Andrii Novak defended big blind. They saw a {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop and Novak checked. Barer bet 79,500 and Novak came back with 249,500. Barer reraised right back to 468,688. Novak peeled and the turn was the {5-Spades}.

Barer barreled tiny for 176,000 and Novak folded.

Timothy Nuter Eliminated in 9th Place ($38,266)

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

Timothy Nuter shoved for 197K in middle position. Chris Rudolph called in the big blind.

Rudolph: {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Nuter: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades} board was all Rudolph, rendering the {a-Hearts} river a formality.

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.

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

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.
