Alfredo Ratmiroff

Early in the day, Jimmy Cortes cracked kings with aces to get the field closer to the money. Then had a big hand of his own cracked after the money.

He three-bet shoved from the cutoff for 122,000 after an open from Alfred Ratmiroff and he picked up a call with a good chance to double.

Ratmiroff: 9s9d
Cortes: KdKs

The big pair was only ahead until the Td9h7h flop. After that, all Cortes could do was watch the blanks hit the turn and river to exit the tournament in 72nd place.

Alfredo Ratmiroff – 655,000 (55 bb)
Jimmy Cortes – Eliminated in 72nd ($616)
