Michael Gehrmann Eliminated in 18th Place ($13,720)
Juan Garibaldi raised in early position to 2,100,000 and action folded to Michael Gehrmann in the big blind.
Gehrmann, peeled back his hold cards, and then called.
The dealer fanned 3♣4♥10♣ on the flop, and Gehrmann checked. Garibaldi bet, and then faced a check-raise from Gehrmann, who moved all in.
Garibaldi had Gehrmann covered and called, and then saw some bad news as Gehrmann set a trap.
Michael Gehrmann: K♥K♣ 
Juan Garibaldi: A♠10♦
Garibaldi had a single request for the dealer before the turn.
“Ace, please,” Garibaldi said.
He got his wish, as the dealer placed A♥ on the board to give Garibaldi the lead. The 5♣ showed up on the river to officially send a clearly disappointed Gehrmann out in the 18th place.
A few players at the table stood up to shake Gehrmann’s hand as he exited the table.
“He got lucky,” one player said to console Gehrmann.
