Hand #64

After losing a big hand to Mahesh Rathi, Michael Rudolph moved all in preflop for his last 115k and was called by Rathi tp put him at risk. 

Rudolph tabled A♣J♦T♣6♣but would need to improve against the Q♠Q♥T♠5♦ of Rathi. 

The flop of J♠2♥J♥ was great for Rudolph as he flopped trips for the lead, but the runout of K♠4♠ brought in backdoor spades for Rathi and he was eliminated in 3rd place. 

Rathi - 1.2mil  
Tim Gray - 725k  
Rudolph - 0
