Raul Celaya Eliminated in 4th Place ($45,301)
Level 32
: Limits 150,000/300,000, 0 ante
Raul Celaya raised in early position with 6♦6♣, and was called by Vadim Shlez, who held 3♥3♦ in the small blind. The big blind folded, putting Celaya and Shlez heads up to the flop.
The dealer placed 7♠3♣Q♦ on the board, and Shlez checked bottom set. Celaya bet, but was promptly check-raised by Shlez.
“I don’t think you have the queen,” said Celaya, who made the call.
The turn produced 2♦, which Shlez bet.
Celaya went into deep thought, counting out his remaining chips and cracking jokes with the players at the table, before making the call. He saw the bad news knowing he was down to two outs when Shlez tabled his hand.
The river brought out 9♣, which sent Celaya to the rail in fourth place for $45,301.
