John Carreno Eliminated in 14th Place ($6,832)

[user75311]

John Carreno limped in early position, as did Freddy Deeb on the button. Both of the blinds came along to see the {j-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} flop. Carreno was able to get his last 100,000 all in on the flop holding {a-Spades} {a-Clubs} but was way behind the {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} of Deeb. The {9-Clubs} turn and {q-Hearts} river were no help and Carreno was eliminated.

There is some irony to Carreno getting busted by Deeb. Carreno bought into this event on Day 2 after taking a three-outter on Day 1a. A couple of months ago, it was Deeb who bought in on Day 2 and went on to win the tournament.

Carreno confided to PokerNews earlier that he really wanted to finish in at least 7th to reach 100 overall points on the WSOP-C season and give himself a good chance at getting into the freeroll. Unfortunately, he finished just short of that mark but luckily enough for him there are still four more stops and plenty of chances for him to keep gaining points.
