Ruppture
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante

Cserei had 11,125 at the start of the hand, and Rupp under 20,000. Rupp's was ahead, but straight away the flop brought the single overcard: . The turn and river () changed nothing and Rupp muttered an exasperated, "You're too good," as he lost most of his stack and walked off to recover elsewhere.
