Franklin Diaz Eliminated in 16th Place ($6,200)
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Franklin Diaz is the 16th place finisher in today's tournament. He open-shoved for 272,000 from middle position when both of the chip leaders, Daniel Ospina and Pablo Gonzales, were in the blinds. Ospina called the raise first, passing action to Gonzales. Gonzales cut 272,000 out of his stack, leaving himself 700,000 behind, and then tanked for three or four minutes, clearly pained by his decision. He finally open-folded -- bad news for Diaz, who tabled to Ospina's . Nines held, to increase Ospina's count to 1.7 million.
