Alejandro Lococo Eliminated in 17th Place (�76,200)
A pot was playing out between Natan Chauskin in the big blind, Alejandro Lococo in the hijack, and Adrian Mateos in the cutoff.
On a flop of Q?J?7?, Lococo fired a bet of 40,000 after a check from Chauskin. Mateos made the call, while Chauskin mucked his hand. The turn came the 5? and Lococo jammed the rest of his chips in. That amounted to 200,000, covering Mateos' 155,000 stack.
Mateos had to think long and hard about his decision, tossing in a few time bank chips every now and then. Eventually, he made the call to put himself at risk.
Adrian Mateos: K?Q?
Alejandro Lococo: A?9?
Mateos needed to fade an ace or diamond and he did so when the river brought the Q? to give him trips.
Lococo was left with two big blinds and they went in the very next hand when Lococo left himself a single T-5,000 chip after he raised to 40,000 from under the gun. Mateos was in the hijack this time and made an almost minimum three-bet to 65,000. The action folded back to Lococo, who threw in his last chip as well.
Alejandro Lococo: Q?5?
Adrian Mateos: A?Q?
Mateos flopped two pair on Q?8?A? and the 7? turn sealed the deal. The two players shared a handshake before Lococo left the field. There are now 16 players remaining and they have converged into two tables, without a redraw.
