Waldermar Barrientos Eliminated in 12th Place ($6,780)
Waldermar Barrientos opened for 50,000 from the hijack and found one called in the form of Halysson Sala in the big blind. The latter checked the flop, allowing Barrientos to fire out 65,000, leaving himself just 198,000 behind. Sala wasted little time in moving all in, prompting Barrientos to remove his headphones and sungalsses.
Barrientos, who finished as the Day 1a chip leader, stared up at the ceiling quite some time and seemed almost tortured by the decision. It looked like he was going to fold, only to stop himself. After a couple of minutes, he made the call and revealed . Sala then rolled over for tens.
Barrientos was clearly disappointed and received no help on the turn and river. With that, we're down to 11 players.
