Para Knocks out Madruga
Level 13
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Preston McEwen opened to 8,000 in early position but was then raised to 51,000 when Mary Anne Madruga shoved all in.
After Rip Fritzer folded behind, the action was now on David Para.."How much do you have behind?" he asked of McEwen.
"Around seventy," McEwen replied, and with that Para moved all in for 200,000 to cover McEwen, which sent him into the tank.
After about a minute or so, McEwen sighed and tossed his cards into the muck and the other two tabled their cards, with Madruga at risk.
Mary Anne Madruga: 
David Para: 
Para was ahead with his pair of nines, and the board runout of 
kept it that way and he was pushed the pot as Madrugal was eliminated.
