Alejandro Garcia Eliminated in 11th Place ($19,653)

[user66118]

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Alejandro Garcia was all in before the flop for his last 90,000, and this time Kwinsee Tran wasn't folding. The big stack looked Garcia up, but the short stack was in good shape to double as the cards were on their backs:

Garcia: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Tran: {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}

The {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} flop made Garcia sweat as Tran picked up four more outs to the straight. He was looking for an eight or a nine...

Turn: {9-Clubs}

That'll do. The gutterball comes through on the turn for Tran, and now it's Garcia drawing dead to the four-out queens. The river was as blank as it gets, though, and the {2-Diamonds} is the last card Garcia will see today. He rode the short stack admirably to climb into the money, but his run ends in 11th place.
