Goodbye, Godoy
It's been quite a ride for 19-year-old Nicolas Godoy of Argentina. The $10 PokerStars qualifier traveled to the Bahamas with his aunt and uncle to play the 2013 PCA, emerged as the Day 2 chip leader, and established himself as a force in the tournament. Unfortunately for Godoy, his inspiring run has just come to an end.
It happened on a 
flop when Godoy checked and Michael Lipman bet 45,000. Godoy responded by check-raising to 115,000, and then called off for 250,000 or so when Lipman moved all in.
Lipman: 
Godoy: 
Lipman didn't have much, but it was out in front of Godoy's open-ended straight draw. "High cards, high cards," Lipman pleaded. The dealer obliged with the 
on the turn.
The 
river wasn't a high card, but it was still safe. "That's what I'm talking about," Lipman shouted as he did a victory lap around the area. On the other end of the table, a dejected Godoy gathered his things and made his way to the payout desk. Not a bad payday off a $10 investment.
Meanwhile, Mazin Khoury was eliminated at an outer table.
