Yacin Vasquez Eliminated in 19th Place ($5,420)
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Yacin Vasquez ran into a case of very bad timing. After Michel Barham opened to 35,000, Vasquez squeezed out and moved all in for 120,000 total. Action passed to Alcides Tovar in the blinds, who moved in for 118,000 -- with pocket aces. Barham elected to pass, leaving Vasquez and Tovar to fit it out for the pot. Aces held, . Losing that pot left Vasquez with just 2,000. He was eliminated the next hand by Leonardo Zepeda.
