Christian Rudolph
Christian Rudolph

Matt Perrins opened to 32,000 from under the gun plus one, before Christian Rudolph moved all in for 283,000 in chips. The action folded around to Antonio Buonanno in the small blind, who looked down at his cards, before asking for an official count. Once he was told, he made the call, as Perrins got out of the way.

Rudolph: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Buonanno: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Buonanno flopped a set of tens, and guaranteed himself the pot, when the turn gave him a full house. A great run from Rudolph, who leaves with $30,399 for his efforts.

Pro Gets Swidler on the River

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The hand started with Carter Swidler opening to 33,000 from under the gun plus one, and was called by Arthur Pro in late position, as well as Matt Berkey on the button.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, before Swidler threw out a continuation bet of 46,000. Pro paused for a moment, before throwing out a raise to 100,000. Berkey quickly folded, as the decision fell back on Swidler. He thought for a moment, before bumping it up to 160,000, which was called. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn, as both players opted to check, before the {2-Hearts} completed the board. Swidler reached for his chips, and bet out 145,000, before Pro asked him how much he had behind. When he got his answer, he announced all in, which saw Swidler instantly muck his hand.

Pro then quickly tabled his {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for just a pair, which upset Swidler.

Pratyush Buddiga Eliminated in 17th Place ($30,399)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Pratyush Buddiga
Pratyush Buddiga

Action began with Pratyush Buddiga who opened to 35,000 from under the gun +1. Everyone folded over to Thomas Muehloecker who reraised to a total of 85,000 from the button. Both blinds folded leaving action back on Buddiga who moved all in for the remainder of his chips. Muehloecker nodded his head then threw in one chip signifying a call.

Buddiga: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Muehloecker: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Buddiga was in big trouble and needed some help from the flop to stay alive, as Muehloecker had a covering stack. The flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} didn't give Buddiga any improvement. The turn was the {3-Spades} and it left Buddiga drawing to just a jack to survive. The river came the {7-Diamonds} giving Muehloecker the best hand with his ace-king high, and that sent Buddiga to the rail in 17th place.
