Julio Delgado

The player on the button raised to 100,000, Julio Delgado moved all in from the small blind for 320,000, and the button called with AdKh.

Delgado turned over Kd6d, and he was dominated as he faced elimination.

But the board came KcQc4c6c5h, and Delgado paired his king on the flop and — much more importantly — his six on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Julio Delgado  –  740,000  (19 bb)

The next hand, the same opponent raised from the cutoff to 100,000, Delgado moved all in from the button for 740,000, and his opponent folded. Delgado picked up another 200,000 to add to his stack,

Julio Delgado  –  940,000  (24 bb)

With about 95 players remaining, the average chip stack is around 1,235,000 (31 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,500 each.
