Rudolph Flops a Straight to Bust Nanos
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Erlandsson raised to 20,000 from middle position with Christian Rudolph calling on the button and Konstantinos Nanos defending out of the big blind.
The 9?7?10? flop got checked to Rudolph and he put out a bet of 25,000. Nanos check-raised to 68,000, which only Rudolph called.
Nanos bet 148,000 when the 3? dropped on the turn, and after a few moments, Rudolph shoved for Nanos' remaining 270,000. Nanos pondered briefly and then made the call.
Konstantinos Nanos: J?10? 
Christian Rudolph: 8?6?
Rudolph was ahead with a flopped straight and could only lose if an eight was to fall on the river. However, the J? came on the river, and Nanos was out of the tournament.
