Alfredo Vega Eliminated in 24th Place ($8,282)
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
What started as a limped pot turned into a monster score for Joshua Palmer. James Cheung limped from under the gun, Bradley Anderson limped from early position, Alfredo Vega limped from middle position, and Ernest Essad also limped from the cutoff. Joshua Palmer was having none of that limping and raised to 225,000, and only Vega called.
The flop came out with 8♣K♦K♣, and Vega moved all in for his last 400,000, and Palmer immediately called.
Vega stated, "Aw man, do you have a king?"
Alfredo Vega: A♠A♥7♣2♠ 
Joshua Palmer: K♥8♠6♥5♠
The following two cards were 7♠7♥, and Palmer had the best of it with a full house.
