Anthony Tacda Eliminated in 14th Place (PHP306,000/$5,529)
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anthony Tacda raised it up to 70,000 and was three-bet to 230,000 by David Erquiaga in the big blind. The initial raiser glanced back at the tournament info screen and jammed for around 700,000, Erquiaga quickly called.
Anthony Tacda: J?10?
David Erquiaga: A?10?
When Tacda showed his cards, Erquiaga was almost shocked and let out a scream. As the local crowd gathered, both players held draws on the K?Q?6? flop. Nothing changed with the 6? turn and the 2? river improved the already superior hand of Erquiaga to a flush.
"I am here to win it," Tacda said and added "just look at all the short stacks." Instead of winning it, Tacda has to settle for 14th place.
