Rodawig Busts; Promptly Reenters
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Before the break, we happened upon a big hand with around 16,000 in the pot and a flop reading 
. Joe Thornton had checked from the big blind and Mac McMillen bet 2,000 from middle position. World Series of Poker bracelet winner Eric Rodawig then raised all in for 11,675, and Thornton made the call. McMillen gave it up and the cards were turned on their backs.
Thornton: 
Rodawig: 
Rodawig seemed surprised Thornton called with a gutshot, which wouldn't come in. Instead, it'd be brutal running diamonds – the 
turn and 
river – that'd give Thornton a come-from-behind flush and eliminate Rodawig, who opted to reenter before the end of registration.
