Jesse Vilchez Eliminated in 56th Place ($142,215)
The action was folded around to the blinds and Nicholas Marchington and Jesse Vilchez got all of their chips in the middle. Marchington was the player at risk for 7,190,000 and held the dominating hand.
Marchington showed 
and was up against the 
of Vilchez. The flop fell 
to give Vilchez a straight draw but a diamond would be no good for him. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river bricked out and Marchington doubled up, leaving Vilchez with just 150,000.
In the next hand, Marchington raised to 425,000 on the button and Vilchez stuck in the last of his chips from the small blind. Garry Gates re-raised to what looked like 1,300,000 and Marchington quickly folded.
Garry Gates: 
Jesse Vilchez: 
The board ran out 
and Gates' pair of queens was enough to eliminate Vilchez from the tournament.
