The flop was , leaving Hen in the lead but giving Ethiel Garcia two extra outs to try to survive. The turn was a blank, but the river was quite the opposite. Garcia improved to aces up, winning the pot to more than double-up. The come-from-behind win also sent Francis Garcia to the payout desk in 40th place.
After paying off his debt, Hen was left with just a handful of big blinds himself. “This is why I never win tournaments,” he lamented. “It’s always these bull*** two outs.”
Ethiel Garcia – 390,000 (20 bb)
Yigal Hen – 95,000 (5 bb)
Francis Garcia – Eliminated
