Crazy Final Table in Event #34
Crazy Final Table in Event #34

Andrew Rudnik had been dominating play three-handed when the following hand occurred:

Justin Cohen folded his button and Mark Schmid raised his small blind to 200,000. Rudnik quickly made it 500,000 from the big blind and after about minute, Cohen announced he was all in. Rudnik asked for a count and learned it was just over 2 million more for him to call. With about 3 million behind, he decided to call and this pot would be for well over half the chips in play.

Schmid: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Rudnik: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Right in the window was the {q-Hearts} for Schmid. With it were the seemingly harmless {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Without running Jacks or straight cards, Schmid would be our new chip leader with over 5 million chips. Although his rail is small, they immediately started chanting for that bracelet. But the action, unfortunately for Schmid and his rail, wasn't over. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the river was the {5-Spades}. Each player rivered a wheel and the pot was chopped.

Justin Cohen, who wasn't even involved in the hand walked away from the table and started saying to nobody in particular "What is this table? I can't believe this table!" In fact, this final table has been rather wild. With many all ins and suck outs, we can only imagine what is in store for the final 90 minutes tonight and tomorrow if necessary.

Hang on Justin, hang on.
