Jose Puertas Eliminated in 6th Place (€11,500)
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jose Puertas raised the button to 240,000, and Algirdas Saveikis called from the big blind.
Saveikis knuckled the action over to Puertas on the 7♠8♦10♥ flop. Puertas wasted no time, overbet-shoving for around 1,700,000, and Saveikis beat him into the pot with a call.
Jose Puertas: A♦10♠ 
Algirdas Saveikis: J♠9♦
Puertas held top pair, top kicker, but was almost drawing dead to the flopped straight of Saveikis. Puertas needed running cards to keep his seat in the tournament.
The 3♥ hit the turn, leaving Puertas drawing dead as the 5♠ river was just a formality. Saveikis and four other players at the table all fist-bumped each other as they locked up at a €10,350 WSOPE Main Event seat.
