Brad Rhodes Eliminated in 10th Place ($2,873)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Brad Rhodes - 10th Place
Brad Rhodes - 10th Place

Brad Rhodes opened for a raise under the gun and was called by only Alex Kaufman, in middle position. Rhodes bet 36,000 on the {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop, and Kaufman made it 75,000. Rhodes called after some thought, and the two checked the {k-Diamonds} turn. Rhodes check-called 75,000 more on the {q-Clubs} river, and he was shown {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for the nut full house.

The next hand, four players saw a {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop for the minimum. Everyone checked, and a {3-Hearts} turned. Rhodes got his last 173,000 in against Kaufman, but he was drawing dead as Kaufman had {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush. Rhodes had turned a straight with {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.
