David Kaufman Eliminated in 17th Place ($50,843)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
David Kaufmann jammed for his final 500,000 from the cutoff.
Gustavo Ortega chose to also go all-in from the button to isolate. The table folded, and Kaufmann was at risk.
David Kaufmann: K♦J♥
Gustavo Ortega: A♣J♦
Ortega's hand dominated Kaufmann's, and it would take some help for Kaufmann to stay in the tournament.
The flop was not ideal, but it did offer a sliver of hope as it came Q♥A♥4♠ to give Kaufmann a gutshot to a straight.
The K♠ turn gave Kaufmann some additional outs to spike trips, but the river did not bring any solace as it came the 9♥ to eliminate Kaufmann.
Kaufmann earned $50,843 for his 17th-place finish.
