| Santana Noronha (Davie, FL) was one card away from scoring a well needed double, but couldn't fade the ace on the river. |
Returning from break as one of the two shortest stacks, Santana Noronha (Davie, FL) was looking for a spot to double up. With action folding to him in the hijack, Santana shoved for just over 580,000 (11bb), and would be called by Chris Lawson (in the small blind). It was the "classic race," with Noronha holding Q♠ Q♣ against the A♦ K♥ of Lawson. Santana stood and watched the dealer fan out a flop of 10♠ 9♠ 5♥, followed by the 8♠ on the turn. Lawson needed a non-spade ace or king to score the elimination, and would get just that, with the A♣ on the river.
Noronha wished his table mates good luck, and headed to the tournament podium to collect his money ($5,265 for 8th place). Lawson would chip up to 2,100,000 after scoring the knockout.
