Gerardo Hernandez Eliminated in 18th Place ($350,000)
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Gerardo Hernandez open-jammed his stack of 11,400,000 from the hijack before Andres Gonzalez rejammed for 12,900,000 from the small blind.
Gerardo Hernandez: 6?6?
Andres Gonzalez: A?K?
"Remember, sixes are a premium hand. I found a hand. I found a spot. Sixes," Hernandez said as he found himself flipping for his tournament life. The J?J?7? flop kept Hernandez ahead as did the 5? turn. The 7? river, though, counterfeited Hernandez's pair and he became the first elimination of the day.
With his elimination, the field have locked up $450,400.
