Oscar Esteban Eliminated in 38th Place ($9,210)

Oscar Esteban got the rest of his chips into the middle preflop holding {J-?} {J-?}, and Jon Favaloro looked him up with the covering stack and {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}, racing for the knockout.

The dealer ran out a board of {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, and Favaloro's ace on the river was good enough to secure the pot. Esteban's cheering section on the rail had applauded in celebration when the flop and turn were safe for their guy, but they fell silent when the river hit, and Esteban made his way quietly to the exit door.
