David Erquiaga Eliminated in 8th Place - $10,100

Level 21: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000
David Erquiaga

David Erquiaga opened 200,000 from utg and was joined by chip leader Hoang Hai Nam on the small blind.


On flop J 7 T , Hoang checked to Erquiaga, who wasted no time moving all-in for his last 1,450,000. Hoang took a minute before making the call with top pair K J , only to find himself behind Erquiaga's overpair Q Q .


Lucky for Hoang, the turn K was enough to turn the tables in his favor as the river 4 sealed Erquiaga's fate in 8th place.

Mr. Fendy Gives It Up

Level 20: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000
Mr. Fendy

With action folded to the hijack, Mr. Fendy opened the pot before facing a swift response from David Erquiaga, who moved all-in for 1,145,000 on the next seat.


Mr. Fendy went deep into the tank, burning through three time banks as he mulled over the decision. He eventually arrived at a fold, releasing his hand just as the final eight players headed into break time.
