Garcia Eliminates Korn to Break the Bubble

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Andres Korn
Andres Korn

Andres Korn opened with a raise to 26,000 from the hijack and Francisco Garcia called from the button.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and they checked again.

The {8-Spades} fell on the river and Korn bet 22,000. Garcia shoved, putting Korn to a decision for the remainder of his stack. After some consideration, Korn called and tabled {K-Spades}{4-Spades} for a king-high flush, but Garcia flipped over {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for the ace-high flush and took the pot to eliminate Korn and end the bubble.

The remaining nine players are now redrawing for seats at the unofficial final table.

Garcia Chipping Up a Bit

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Cristian Fernandez opened on the button with a raise to 30,000. Francisco Garcia called from the big blind.

Both players checked the {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop to see the {K-Hearts} on the turn. There, Garcia checked, then called a bet of 30,000 from Fernandez.

On the {4-Spades} river, both players checked again and Garcia showed {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for a flush he made on the river. It was good enough to take down the pot and he moved to over 300,000 chips.

Leo Fernandez Can't Win a Flip; Eliminated in 11th

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Leo Fernandez
Leo Fernandez

Leo Fernandez moved all in from under the gun for 106,000. Next to act was Ernesto Panno and he called the shove. Action folded around and the two turned up their cards.

Fernandez: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Panno: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The flop came down {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} putting Fernandez in a big hole. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn brought him some life though with a flush draw. Unfortunately, the river was the {8-Clubs} giving Panno a full house and eliminating Fernandez from the tournament.

The final 10 players are now on the bubble and the next player eliminated will be the last to walk away without a payday.

Garcia Doubles Through Korn

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Francisco Garcia
Francisco Garcia

Francisco Garcia only had about 100,000 chips to start the hand and got them all in the middle before the flop against bracelet winner Andres Korn who had the larger of the two stacks by a wide margin.

Garcia: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Korn: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Korn had the preflop advantage with the better ace and Garcia needed help from the deck in order to survive. The {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop kept Korn in the lead, but Garcia caught up on the {8-Clubs} turn. The {9-Spades} river changed nothing and Garcia doubled up.
