Natale: 
Rudnik: 
The two were racing for Rudnik's tournament life heading to the flop. The dealer spread out 
giving Rudnik a couple of additional outs to make a straight. They weren't needed though, as he paired up when the 
hit the turn. Natale was now open-ended but it didn't come through as the 
finished off the board.
Rudnik scooped up the double to around 540,000 while Natale has fallen to about 290,000.
