Le Eliminates Ortega
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Anthony Ortega shipped it for 101,000 from under the gun and was called by Thanh Le from the cutoff as Ortega was at risk for his tournament life.
Anthony Ortega: A♠Q♣
Thanh Le: K♥K♠
Ortega had a big ace, but he nonetheless found himself in trouble against the pocket kings of Le.
Ortega hit a queen on the Q♥10♣7♣ flop to gain some additional outs, but he was unable to find any more help on the 7♥ turn or the 6♥ river to drop out of contention on Day 1c.
