Ernesto Panno Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,590)

[user66118]

Ernesto Panno wasn't going to sit around and nurse short stack. On the very next hand, he got the remainder of his chips into the pot with {A-Hearts}

. Nacho Barbero was the would-be knocker-out, turning over the dominating {A-Spades}

. Sensing that Day 3 might be moments away from ending, the spectators once again rose from their seats and began shouting for the cards they wanted.

After a long pause to build the suspense, the dealer ran out what would indeed be the final board of the night: {J-Diamonds}

. Both players make their pair of aces, but Barbero's kicker plays, locking up the pot and signaling the floor person to scurry for chip bags.

Ernesto Panno put on a fine show today and for the past three days, but his bid to bring this Uruguayan title to his native Argentina has fallen short. He's out as the final table bubble boy, taking home $14,590 for his work this week.
