Cristian Fernandez Eliminated in 9th Place ($5,400); Matias Scaffo Eliminated in 8th Place ($7,080)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Matias Scaffo
Matias Scaffo

From under the gun, Cristian Fernandez moved all in for a little over 150,000. Two seats over Christopher Franco called. In the hijack seat, Matias Scaffo then moved all in with a stack a bit more than Fernandez. Action folded back to Franco and he called, putting two players all in and at risk.

Franco: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Scaffo: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Fernandez: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades} giving Franco a better two pair than what was on the board and he scored the double elimination while Scaffo hit the rail in 8th collecting $7,080 and Fernadez took home 9th place money with the shorter stack.

First Couple Pots To Franco

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From the button Christopher Franco opened with a raise to 26,000, Matias Scaffo defended from the big blind. The flop came {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {4-Spades} on the turn, where they checked again.

Scaffo continued checking on the {9-Diamonds} river, but folded to a bet of 16,000 from Franco.

On the net hand, Franco opened again from the cutoff. This time Lopez defended his big blind. The flop came {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and both players checked.

On the {8-Diamonds} turn, Lopez checked again then folded to a bet of 27,000 from Franco. With that Franco took down the first two pots of heads-up play and moved over 400,000 chips.
