Edgar De La Torre Eliminated in 20th Place ($21,933)
Hassan Babajane opened to 34,000 under the gun, and the table passed all the way around to the small blind where Edgar De La Torre reraised all in for 260,000 total. Eddy Sabat gave it a long look in the small blind, but he eventually folded, and Babajane quickly did the calling to put De La Torre at risk. Flip a coin.
Showdown
Babajane:
De La Torre:
The flop was a good one for De La Torre, pairing up to take a big lead with two to come. The turn was dangerously close to a two-outer, and it only served as foreshadowing of the river card. The dropped like a hammer, and Babajane sets up to tally the knockout.
Both men complimented each other on their play and their final hand, but it's De La Torre who comes up short in this one. He's out in 20th place, good for $21,933.
