Rabinowitz:

Rabinowitz's rail, which included Joe Kuether, Ryan Riess, and Bryan Campanello, were on their feet and calling for a five. The flop didn't do it, but it opened up some runner-runner possibilities.

"Any two across is good," Campanello bellowed. Indeed it would have been, but it was the three-across that opened up the gutshot straight draw possibility. Unfortunately for Rabinowitz and his supporters, the blanked on the river to send him home in fourth place for AU$450,000.
