Sergio Aido Espina Eliminated in 17th Place (€25,000)
Sergio Aido Espina has been nursing a short stack for quite awhile, but that recently came to an end when he was eliminated in 17th place.
It happened when action folded around to Mark Herm in the small blind and he limped. Espina took the opportunity to move all in from the big for right around 300,000, and that's exactly what Herm wanted as he snap-called.
Showdown
Espina: 
Herm: 
Espina had a huge mountain to climb, and it soon became insurmountable when the flop fell 
. Herm his a set and left Espina drawing to runner-runner; however, that hope was extinguished when the 
turn left him drawing dead. The meaningless 
completed the board on the river, and Herm collected the pot while sending Espina home in 17th place.
