Manuel Ledesma Eliminated in 5th Place (€9,400)

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Manuel Ledesma
Manuel Ledesma

Antonio Puntas moved all in for 120,000 from the hijack and Manuel Ledesma moved all in for just over 1,000,000. Puntas snap-called to put Ledesma at risk.

Manuel Ledesma: AK
Antonio Puntas: AA

Ledesma had a monster hand but had run into pocket aces and was in dire straights. He could not pull ahead on the AQ6K5 runout and was sent to the rail in fifth-place while Puntas scored another final table knockout.

All four remaining players are now guaranteed a €5,000 package to Cyprus for the Mediterranean Poker Party in May that will include a €2,000 entry to the EAPT Grand Finale.
