Juan Lamprea Eliminated in 21st Place ($12,726)
It would have been a good story if Juan Lamprea just doubled up all the way into a healthy stack and won the tournament but, unfortunately that was not to happen.
Lamprea had stolen the blinds for two consecutive hands by open-shoving. Under the gun, he shoved all-in for a third time and finally got action from Dustin Apperson.
Dustin Apperson: A♥J♥ 
Juan Lamprea: A♠3♠
Apperson already had Lamprea dominated but the flop 3♥Q♥6♥ improved his hand with a nut flush. The runout 9♥3♣ didn't help Lamprea at all. Apperson doubled up and left Lamprea with only 175,000 chips behind going into the big blind.
With less than the big blind, Lamprea was forced to go all-in without looking at his hand. When the button Alex Paredes limped, they went to showdown. Lamprea was ready to leave when the cards were flipped giving him slight hope.
Juan Lamprea: Q♠3♣
Alex Paredes: 6♥5♥
The board ran Q♦10♠4♦K♥K♠ doubling Lamprea up with flopped queens prompting him to sit back down.
He doubled up one more time in the small blind, and players were beginning to tease him that he might just win with a chip and a chair.
Unfortunately for him, this was not to be the case. Kenneth Kim opened for 1,200,000 in middle position and, with about 1,175,000 behind, Lamprea called on the button.
Juan Lamprea: A♦3♦
Kenneth Kim: K♠Q♣
The flop came K♥2♠2♦ prompting Lamprea to stand up and prepare to leave. Players were telling him it may still change but the runout 10♣9♥ didn't improve his hand eliminating him in the process.
