Manuel Labandeira Eliminated in 44th Place ($178,857)

Ludovic Lacay began the hand by raising to 150,000 from under the gun. It folded to Manuel Labandeira in the cutoff. Labandeira hadn't seen Lacay's raise, and so tried to raise to 180,000, but his bet was declared just a call. That led to both blinds -- Steven Begleiter (small) and Jesse Haabak (big) -- coming along as well.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. It checked around to Labandeira who bet 400,000. Begleiter folded, then Haabak check-raised all in for 1.22 million. Lacay folded, Labandeira called with his remaining chips, and Begleiter got out of the way.

Haabak showed {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for two pair, and Labandeira {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for aces. The turn was the {Q-Spades} and the river the {3-Hearts}, and Labandeira is out in 44th place.
