Antonio Pagliuca Eliminated in 10th Place (�3,250)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Fernando Santa Maria raised to 80,000 under the gun before Antonio Pagliuca shoved for his last 550,000 in the small blind. Santa Maria quickly called.
Antonio Pagliuca: 5?5?
Fernando Santa Maria: K?Q?
Santa Maria picked up some outs on the J?6?10? flop with a straight draw to go with his two overcards, and he hit the Q? on the turn to make a pair.
Pagliuca was looking for a two-outer on the river to stay alive but instead saw the K? fall, sending him to the rail in 10th place.
The remaining nine players are now on a break before the final table begins.
