Joao Vieira Eliminated in 7th Place ($42,965)
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Michael Rodrigues raised under the gun and Joao Vieira called from the button, sitting on about 200,000 chips.
Each player drew two and Rodrigues then led out with a bet. Vieira called and stood pat after Rodrigues drew one card.
Rodrigues now checked and faced a bet from Vieira, which he called. Rodrigues still needed a card while Vieira remained pat.
After checking his new card, Rodrigues bet out, with Vieira only holding 20,000 chips behind. After a bit of thought, Vieira called to put his tournament life at risk, and he wouldn't like what he saw.
Rodrigues fanned 7x6x5x4x2x, which was the winner, to eliminate Vieira and provide David "Bakes" Baker, who had just 30,000 chips, a near $14,000 ladder up.
