Markovitz Sends Velandia Packing

Rafael Velandia (26th place - $3,737 USD)
Rafael Velandia (26th place - $3,737 USD)

With about 300,000 in the pot and a board reading {Q-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Rafael Velandia moved all in for his last 238,000 and put the pressure to Jonathan Markovitz. The latter asked for a count and thought for a solid minute before making the call, much to the delight of the railbirds.

Showdown
Velandia: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Markovitz: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

It turned out to be a good call for Markovitz as he had Velandia dead to a ten. Both players were on their feet as the dealer burned and delivered the {6-Diamonds}. Velandia was eliminated on the hand in 26th place while Markovitz closed in on the million-chip mark.
