Miguel Velasco Eliminated in 24th Place ($5,420)
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Not even ten minutes of play has produced the first elimination of Day 3. The tiniest stack to start the day (56,000) belonged to Miguel Velasco. He shipped it into the middle with a bare ace and ran into Carlos Rodriguez' pocket queens. The hand was basically over on a queen-high flop, though Velasco did turn an ace. It wasn't enough to prevent his elimination in 24th place.
