Michael Baltierra Eliminated in 6th Place ($113,270)
Level 40
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Ching Da Wu opened the action with a minraise from under the gun. Michael Baltierra was next to act in the hijack and went all in for around 13,000,000 chips. The rest of the table folded back to Wu, who snap-called and had Baltierra covered.
Michael Baltierra: 6?6?
Ching Da Wu: A?K?
The flop 10?8?7? kept the advantage for Baltierra, who added a gutshot to his pair of sixes.
The turn A?, however, changed everything and Baltierra let out an expletive. He was now drawing very thin, to only four nines for a gutshot and two sixes for the set.
The river was the 8? and Baltierra, who without a doubt would win the award for the biggest and loudest rail of the day, was escorted with applause and the rail��s patented call: ��Mike, Mike!��
