Rudolph Makes Inroads into Suarez’s Stack
The chip lead has changed hands after a big pot between button Anton Suarez and big blind Christian Rudolph. Suarez raised to 7,000,000 with [qhqd]; Rudolph defended with [9c6c]. Rudolph check-raised the [8s7h2h] flop – 7,500,000 to 23,000,000 – with his open-ended straight draw and Suarez made the call.
The turn brought it in for Rudolph, who led out for 18,000,000. With the overpair and queen of hearts for a flush draw, Suarez called.
The river: [3s]. Rudolph now checked. Suarez reached for chips, betting 45,000,000 which Rudolph called. Suarez nodded seeing his opponent’s hand and paid the man his money.
