Day: 2
Heads up, the flop came down . After a check from Howard, D'Alessio fired out a continuation bet of 21,000. Without wasting any time, Howard waved his hands forward in that familiar all-in gesture. D'Alessio shrugged and made the call with plenty of chips to spare.
Showdown
Howard:
D'Alessio:
The showdown wasn't much fun for Howard, and all he could really do was chuckle at his plight. The turn ended the hand, Howard now drawing dead and resigned to his 25th-place finish. The that landed on the river sent him to the payout desk and brought out the chip bags, signaling the end of Day 2.
Among the notables still in the field include Team PokerStars Pros Jose Ignacio Barbero and Humberto Brenes. Neither started the day with a ton of chips, but both are in the top ten with over 300,000. Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick's day was quite the roller coaster, but he finished with a solid 255,000.
We'll see you right back here tomorrow at noon local time for what promises to be an exciting day on the felt as we play down to the final table. Until then, goodnight and buenas noches from Punta del Este!
