Ruppture

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

A drop to a short stack for Branden Rupp just before dinner, which led to a premature exit to the buffet (or, as Kevin MacPhee suggested, to, "Punch a wall.")

Ramon Cserei moved all in preflop with {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} (it wasn't just a plain shove, there were raises, but we only arrived as they were turning their hands over). Cserei had 11,125 at the start of the hand, and Rupp under 20,000. Rupp's {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} was ahead, but straight away the flop brought the single overcard: {K-Clubs} {10-Spades} {5-Spades} . The turn and river ( {7-Hearts} {9-Spades} ) changed nothing and Rupp muttered an exasperated, "You're too good," as he lost most of his stack and walked off to recover elsewhere.
