Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to Andres Vega in late position, and he raised to 12,000. Argentinian Team PokerStars Pro, Leo Fernandez, moved all in for about 50,000 from the cutoff, and Vega snap-called. Fernandez was at risk as Vega had him covered by over 300,000 chips.

Once the tournament director gave the dealer the go-ahead, both players tabled their hands, with Vega showing {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Fernandez revealing {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The high roller champion needed one of the two remaining fives in the deck to survive, but unfortunately for him the board ran out {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and he was eliminated.

Fernandez may have been knocked out just one spot from the money, but he goes home with a third high roller title to add to his impressive resume.

The bubble lasted about 25 minutes, and all remaining players are now guaranteed a minimum payout of $2,840.
