Escobar Sent Back to Colombia

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Michael Lech opened for a min-raise in the cutoff and Colombia's Jairo Escobar defended his big blind to see a {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Spades} flop.

Escobar led out for 15,000, Lech called, and the dealer burned and turned the {A-Hearts}.

Escobar moved all in for his last 35,000 or so and Lech snap-called.

Lech: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Escobar: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Escobar had flopped a set, but he needed the board to pair as Lech had flopped the nuts. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {7-Hearts}. Escobar missed and fell in 74th place, just three spots shy of the money.
