David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Weiran Pu moved all in for 90,000 in the cutoff, Christian Rudolph reshoved for 200,000 on the button, and Anvar Muratov put both players at risk in early position.

Weiran Pu: A♣J♠ All in
Christian Rudolph: Q♦Q♠ All in
Anvar Muratov: A♠K♥

Rudolph was ahead with his queens as the J♥5♥3♣ flop gave Pu a pair. The turn was the 6♣, but the A♦ river improved Pu to two pair to earn him a triple up, while Muratov made top pair to crack Rudolph's queens and send him to the rail.

"Almost," Rudolph said on his way to the exit.
