Event 22: 3rd Place - Herrera

$500 + $60

Jamie Herrera (Miami, FL)

Angelo Modica makes a button raise to 70k. Jamie Herrera pushes all-in for 190k more. Modica tanks and makes the call.

Modica: K♣ Q♠
Herrera: A♣ 4

Flop: A 10 6 (Herrera pair of aces/Modica gut shot straight draw)

Turn: 2♠

River J♠

The jack on the river gives Modica the pot and Herrera is out in third place.
The late night means Herrera will have a quick turn around as he's still in the Main Event.

Day 2 of that tournament resumes at 11 am, just 4 1/2 hours from his elimination in Event 22.
Herrera has 14k (30 BB) and is well below the 39k chip average.
