All in for his remaining single ante, Santi Soriano Ramos saw both Danny Silk and Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii contesting the pot from the blinds.

Silk completed from the small, but Leaoasavaii bumped it an additional 25,000 which Silk called.

Both players checked the {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} board with Silk's {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} not being able to outrun Leaoasavaii's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} as he was pushed the side pot

Soriano Ramos was unable to find an ace or six as he rolled over this {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to hit the rail in 7th place for a $20,124 payday for the Spaniard PokerStars.net Online Qualifier.

Soriano Ramos Crippled

Santi Soriano Ramos opened to 27,000 from the cutoff only to have Danny Silk move all in for 267,000 from the big blind.

Soriano Ramos instantly made the call to take us to our first big showdown of the level.

Silk: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Soriano Ramos: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

With Silk needing to find some luck, the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} flop saw him take the lead with a bigger pair, but still left Soriano Ramos drawing to a king or gutshot ten.

The {6-Spades} on the river reduced Soriano Ramos' outs by two, and when the {9-Hearts} landed on the river, Soriano Ramos' head dropped at having his kings cracked.

As the dealer began counting the chips it seemed as though Silk had Soriano Ramos covered - that was until Danny McDonagh and the Tournament Director did a re-count to actually discover that Soriano Ramos had a single yellow 1,000-denomination chip remaining.
