According to the table, Alex Rocha was in the small blind and shoved 113,000 — about 10 big blinds. Nicholas Immikus was in the big blind and called the bet. Rocha was at risk holding Qc9c versus the Ks9s of Immekus.

An Ac6c6d3s2s runout didn’t improve Rocha and he busted in 27th place.

The 24 remaining players have locked up $12,300.
