Lopez's estimated stack did not correspond with the number of chips he said he held, and it was thus determined that Klecz did indeed have Lopez covered, and he was officially eliminated. Lopez still wanted to discuss the issue with the floor (which was of course difficult because he doesn't speak much English) and he was taken aside to continue the conversation.
