Anthony Tacda Eliminated in 14th Place (PHP306,000/$5,529)
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anthony Tacda raised it up to 70,000 and was three-bet to 230,000 by David Erquiaga in the big blind. The initial raiser glanced back at the tournament info screen and jammed for around 700,000, Erquiaga quickly called.
Anthony Tacda: J♥10♥
David Erquiaga: A♠10♠
When Tacda showed his cards, Erquiaga was almost shocked and let out a scream. As the local crowd gathered, both players held draws on the K♣Q♠6♠ flop. Nothing changed with the 6♣ turn and the 2♠ river improved the already superior hand of Erquiaga to a flush.
"I am here to win it," Tacda said and added "just look at all the short stacks." Instead of winning it, Tacda has to settle for 14th place.
