Jose Vazquez Ortega - 24th Place
Jose Vazquez Ortega - 24th Place
Action folded around to Jose Vazquez Ortega and he opened for a standard raise. Mikael Lundell, next to act, reraised an additional 55,000 and Lundell made the call.

The exact action is unclear but when the flop came {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, both players were quick to get all their chips into the center. It was Ortega's tournament life on the line and he was in bad shape holding {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} up against the {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} of Lundell. The turn and river blanked coming the {A-Clubs} and {4-Clubs} respectively.

Ortega was eliminated in 26th place and takes home € 19,800 to show for it. Lundell, meanwhile, is on the rise with just over 450,000 chips.
