Ricardo Caridade Eliminated in 12th Place ($24,549)
With two players seeing a board of K♣10♣3♦ and roughly 100,000 in the middle, Ricardo Caridade checked in the big blind and Jean-Noel Thorel bet 50,000 from the button. Caridade raised to 195,000, leaving only 6,000 behind, and Jean-Noel Thorel moved all in with a covering stack.
Caridade stalled for several minutes while watching the other table as there was a pay jump that he would make should a bustout occur at the other table. After stalling for a few minutes a player called the clock and shortly after Caridade called off to put himself at risk.
Ricardo Caridade: 7♣3♣
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♠2♠
Caridade needed a club, three or seven to preserve his tournament life but none came on the 2♥ turn or A♥ river and he was sent to the rail without making the pay jump he was aiming for while Thorel collected the last of his chips.
