Ronald Chaves Eliminated in 12th Place ($35,051)

Ronald Chaves - 12th place
Ronald Chaves - 12th place

Ronald Chaves opened to 55,000 from the button only to have Mihai Manole three-bet from the big blind to 200,000.

Chaves moved all in for 656,000 and after ninety seconds of deliberation, Manole made the call.

Chaves: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Manole: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The {5-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop put Manole squarely in the lead and would leave Chaves trailing and in need of running cards for only a straight.

The turn ended things when it fell the {7-Clubs} as the meaningless {K-Spades} peeled on the river to send Chaves to the rail in 12th place for a $35,051 payday as Manole climbs to 2,610,000 in chips.
