Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 13th Place - Santana ($4,527)

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 12
Chip Average: 3,100,000

Aristedes Santana (Yonkers, NY)
Aristedes Santana (Yonkers, NY) returned from break with just over ten bigs, and after fifteen minutes passed without finding a spot to get them in, he was sitting with seven blinds in front of him.  Vinny Pahuja would open the pot for a raise to 105,000, and when action folded around to Santana in the small blind, he would announce himself all-in.  Csik folded from the big blind, and Vinny gave it some thought before calling, seemingly knowing he wasn't going in with the best hand:

Pahuja: K♠ 10
Santana: A 9♣

Runout: Q 7 10♠ 10♣ 9♠

Pahuja was correct in his thinking, but the numbers were there for him to call.  Vinny would outflop Santana, and have him drawing dead on the turn.  With that pot, Vinny is now up to 2,200,000.
