Fox vs Rudolph
Fox vs Rudolph

Elio Fox ripped it in from the small blind with the far bigger stack and Christian Rudolph instantly called out of the big blind. That created a pot of nearly 1 million and led to the following showdown.

Christian Rudolph: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Elio Fox: {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The four-trey had worked for Fox in the last all-in showdown and did so again when the board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

David Peters fired three barrels and bet the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop for 56,000, the {3-Clubs} turn for 252,000 and the {a-Clubs} river for 1,067,500. Michael Zhang check-called all the way and his {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} made a flush to leave Peters' {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} with fumes.

Peters was forced all-in the next hand and a lengthy side pot emerged. On the rail end of that, Zhang defended the big blind and check-called the shove by Yuri Dzivielevski on the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs} river. Peters tabled the {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Dzivielevski held {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a busted flush draw and Zhang had the best of it with {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to eliminate two opponents.
