Cooler Catapults Rudolph to the Top
Level 13
: 2,250/4,500, 650 ante
Christian Rudolph opened to 9,000 from middle position and Artur Martirosian called in the big blind to see the 
flop. The Russian checked to Rudolph, he bet 6,300 and Martirosian check-raised to 25,178.
Rudolph called and a 
peeled off as the turn card. Martirosian bet 59,694 and once more Rudolph called. A 
completed the board and Martirosian shoved 289,145.
Rudolph snapped him off for less, putting in his 187,445 stack and Martirosian showed 
for three jacks. Rudolph tabled 
for a boat that he also hit on the flop, good to take down the pot in what was a cooler of a hand, giving Rudolph the chip lead.
