Jovan Santiago Eliminated in 21st Place ($2,250 CAD)

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jovan Santiago
Jovan Santiago

With three players seeing a board of 91068 and roughly 125,000 already in the middle, Renmei Liu bet 50,000 from the big blind and was called by Jovan Santiago who was under the gun and Richard Mullen on the button.

On the 6 river Liu checked and Santiago moved all in for 277,000. Mullen made the call with a covering stack.

"I guess my six-seven is no good" Liu commented before tossing his cards into the muck.

Santiago had KQ for a rivered straight but Mullen tabled 1010 for a rivered full house to take down a gargantuan pot while sending Santiago to the rail in brutal fashion.
