Julian Velador Eliminated in 18th Place ($10,204)
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of 5♥8♥9♦ in a hand between Casey Brown in the hijack, Julian Velador in the small blind, and James Cheung in the big blind.
Velador checked, Cheung bet 250,000 and Brown made it 625,000 to go. Velador made the call for 600,000 to put himself at risk, and Cheung called, creating a small side pot.
On the 4♥ turn, Cheung checked and Brown moved all in to put Cheung at risk. Cheung thought for a moment before giving up his hand.
Julian Velador: K♦J♠10♦7♠ 
Casey Brown: K♥8♣7♦6♥
Brownn had turned a flush leaving Velador drawing dead and the meaningless 5♦ rolled off on the river.
