Diego Sanchez Eliminated in 4th Place ($57,400)

Nobody can stop Andrew Lichtenberger right now. Almost immediately after the elimination of James Carroll in 5th place, Lichtenberger opened a pot to 40,000. Action folded to Diego Sanchez in the big blind, who moved all in. Lichtenberger quickly called, tabling {A-Spades}

against the presto of Sanchez, {5-Diamonds}

. The race was on.

For once, Lichtenberger didn't pair on the flop, {7-Diamonds}

. That was no problem though; he promptly spiked the {K-Diamonds}

on the turn. All of the Mexican contingent was leaning over the rail shouting for a diamond, but instead Lichtenberger paired again with the {A-Clubs}

. His aces and kings were more than enough to send Sanchez home in 4th place with $57,400, his largest-ever cash in a live poker tournament.

Lichtenberger now has more than 2 million of the 3.75 million chips in play.
