Fred Dykes Eliminated in 16th Place ($5,339)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Former chip leader Fred Dykes has played his last pot here at the PokerStars.net APPT Playa Conchal main event. His executioner was Francis-Nicolas Bouchard, who now sits with just over 400,000 in chips.

Bouchard opened the pot with a raise and Dykes moved all in for an additional 82,500. Bouchard made the call and tabled {K-Clubs}

. Dykes turned over a pocket pair of fives and the two were off to the races.

The {A-Spades}

flop had Dykes way ahead. He retained the lead on the turn when the {6-Hearts}

popped off. It was on 5th Street that Dykes received the fatal blow. The dealer burned and revealed the final card -- the {J-Clubs}

-- which gave Bouchard a Broadway straight, sending Dykes to the rail in 16th place.

Edgar Cruz Eliminated in 17th Place ($4,711)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Edgar Cruz has just been eliminated from the tournament by chip leader Carlos Giron. Here's how the hand went down:

Action folded around the table to Clay Maguire on the button who opened with a raise to 20,000. Giron called from the small blind, as did Cruz in the big.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}

and Giron passed the first option to Cruz, who immediately shoved all in for 68,500. Maguire folded and Giron tanked for a solid three minutes before eventually making the call with {10-Spades}

. Cruz tabled {8-Hearts}

.

Cruz picked up some additional outs after the {Q-Hearts}

fell on the turn, giving him a flush draw, but the river blanked ( {4-Clubs}

) and Giron took down the pot, improving to 720,000 in chips on the day.
