Machado Takes One Out

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Manuel Machado raised to 5,500 on the cutoff. The player in the small blind three-bet shoved for about 75,000. Machado made the call.

Manuel Machado: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The board came {5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} and Machado eliminated his opponent.

Machado, who hails from Portugal, has been playing for many years, yet has only ever won ranking poker events in his home country. With a total tournament earnings of $79,986, should Machado go on to win the Millionaire Maker, he'll bag a seven-figure score for victory - a result that so many recreational players who remain in the event are dreaming of.
