At approximately 10:45 pm local time Thursday evening, the 51st player was eliminated from this year’s Punta Cana Poker Classic.  He goes home with….well….nothing.

50th place through 1st place will all finish in the money. 

Among the notables still in:  Panamanian pros Bolivar Palacios and Jose Miguel de la Guardia. 

A relative unknown female player was still very much in the thick of the action.  Jessica Perez was gunning for the top prize.

BetDSI.com’s biggest qualifier, Bill Wellman, made what was described as a "ballsy move" that ultimately ensured his place in the top 50.

The most amazing story of the night is Ecuadorian player David Hurrieta entering the Punta Cana Poker Classic through a 25 cent satellite.  He made the final 50.

Play will continue until the 28th elimination Thursday.  Play will resume Friday until the final nine are determined. 

Here is the prize structure…

50 through 41 receive $3113

40 through 31 receive $3735

30 through 23 receive $4358

22 through 19 receive $5603
