Jeffery Vanchiro - 15th Place
Jeffery Vanchiro - 15th Place
Carsten Joh raised to 75,000 from middle position and from the cut off Nathan Page announces a raise, however, he only puts 60,000 in front of him.

Apparently, he did not see Joh make the initial raise. Since he made a verbal declaration, he is forced to raise the minimun.

Action folds around to Jeffery Vanchiro in the big blind who moves all in for 350,000. Joh gets out of the way and Page makes the call.

Vanchiro: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Page: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

The board comes {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {3-Clubs} allowing Page to win the race, eliminating Vanchrio in 15th place.

Nathan Page - 1,250,000
