Michael Gehrmann Eliminated in 18th Place ($13,720)
Juan Garibaldi raised in early position to 2,100,000 and action folded to Michael Gehrmann in the big blind.
Gehrmann, peeled back his hold cards, and then called.
The dealer fanned 3?4?10? on the flop, and Gehrmann checked. Garibaldi bet, and then faced a check-raise from Gehrmann, who moved all in.
Garibaldi had Gehrmann covered and called, and then saw some bad news as Gehrmann set a trap.
Michael Gehrmann: K?K? 
Juan Garibaldi: A?10?
Garibaldi had a single request for the dealer before the turn.
“Ace, please,” Garibaldi said.
He got his wish, as the dealer placed A? on the board to give Garibaldi the lead. The 5? showed up on the river to officially send a clearly disappointed Gehrmann out in the 18th place.
A few players at the table stood up to shake Gehrmann’s hand as he exited the table.
“He got lucky,” one player said to console Gehrmann.
