Jose Ramon Ponce Mohamed - Eliminated
Jose Ramon Ponce Mohamed - Eliminated
In early position, Juan Jose Perez raises the bet to 16,000. Coming around to the small blind, Jose Ramon Ponce Mohamed makes the call. Next to act is Ferrero Fulvio, and he moves all in with his short stack, just 24,000 total. Both opponents call, and it's three-handed to the flop.

It brings {4-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Instantly, Mohamed moves all in for just about 14,000, and Perez quickly calls. With all the betting action complete, and two players at risk, the hands are turned up:

Mohamed: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Fulvio: {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts}
Perez: {A-Spades} {8-Spades}

Jose Ramon Ponce Mohamed is poised to triple up, but the {A-Clubs} drills the turn, leaving him and Fulvio both drawing slim. The {Q-Hearts} on the river locks it up for Perez, and he knocks out two players with his two pair, aces and eights.

Following those eliminations, we have just ten players left.
