Ronaldo Eliminated
Last year's impressive 26th-place run by soccer legend Ronaldo won't be topped, as he was just eliminated in the fifth level of Day 1a here in the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event. The man who got him was Andrey Zaichenko.
Ronaldo had opened with a raise from early position to 600. One player called in middle position, and then Zaichenko reraised to 2,500 out of the big blind. Ronaldo moved all in for 10,675, the caller folded, and Zaichenko called.

After he busted Ronaldo, Zaichenko asked Ronaldo for a quick photo before he exited. Ronaldo was kind enough to snap a quick one with Zaichenko and then was off to the exit.
