Jorge Postigo Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to Jorge Postigo in the small blind. Postigo moved all in for his remaining 67,000 chips. Rodrigo Borquez was in the big blind and quickly called, putting Postigo at risk.

Borquez tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Postigo showed {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

The board ran out, {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Borquez won the pot with ace high, eliminating Postigo on the money bubble.

Postigo was the chip leader in this tournament for the better part of the day, but lost a big hand to Borquez just a few short moments ago and has gone home empty-handed.

All remaining players are guaranteed a payout of $8,740

With about 32,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Jorge Postigo checked from the big blind.

Rodrigo Borquez was under the gun and bet 15,000. Postigo called.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and both players checked to the river, which was the {4-Hearts}. Postigo reached into his stack and led out for 39,000. Borquez went into the tank for about a minute before moving all in for 130,500. Postigo thought about it for a few seconds and eventually slid a few chips forward, indicating a call.

Borquez tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a full house, nines full of queens. Postigo rapped the table and mucked his cards.

Borquez has now taken over the chip lead, which Postigo has held since the last level of the day yesterday. Postigo has now gone from chip leader to short stack on the money bubble.
