Erick Torres

Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The action began when Jason Li raised it from the cutoff. Jorge Dominguez opted to shove from the button in the next seat over for 4,100,000. The action paused when it hit the small blind of Mario Diaz Quilez. He gave it a long thought before he decided to go all in for 14,200,000. Li folded to send Dominguez and Quilez to a showdown.

Jorge Dominguez: K♠Q♣ All in
Mario Diaz Quilez: 8♥8♣

Dominguez was behind, but had the power of a rowdy rail behind him as they went to the runout. The flop was favorable to Dominguez as it came K♦A♣Q♦ to vault him into the lead.

The 2♠ turn was inconsequential, and the A♥ river sealed it for Dominguez.

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Pablo Valdes opened the action with a raise to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Xizhe Yuan wanted to play for more chips in the next seat over and went all-in for 4,200,000 from the button. Valdes gave it some thought before a call and sent them to a showdown with Yuan at risk.

Pablo Valdes: A♠7♥

Yuan was rooting for a chop, but that became less likely as the flop came 7♠J♥J♣ to give Valdes two pair.

Yuan earned $18,669 for his 13th-place finish.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Josias Santos ran into the red-hot Nicolas Godard, who has continued to chip up quickly since dinner break.

Santos raised to 1,200,000 from the button, and faced an all-in from Godard from the big blind who had Santos covered. Santos took some time to think about his decision before he committed his stack of 7,500,000 into the middle to be at risk for his tournament life.

Josias Santos: A♠9♥ All in
Nicolas Godard: K♦K♠

Godard had the best of it with his pocket kings, but the flop of 10♠4♠6♠ was a dangerous one as it gave Santos the ace-high flush draw.

The 10♣ was not the card Santos was looking for, and the river was a black card, but it was the 9♣, which sent Santos packing.

Santos earned $14,941 for his 14th-place finish.
