Only One Remains

Leo Fernandez
Leo Fernandez

Only one player representing Team PokerStars remains and that's Jorge Arias. Leo Fernandez from Team Pro Argentina has just hit the rail. He was all in preflop with pocket threes against an opponent's pocket eights. The board ran out {Q-}{9-}{8-}{A-}{A-} and that was the end of the line for Fernandez.

Mascioto: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} to see Mascioto eliminated as Ribeiro climbs to 140,000 in chips.

Lucrative Bubble for Aalders

Sander Aalders from The Netherlands put his bigger stack of about 180,000 to good use once it was bubble time. His stack went from 180,000 to about 235,000 just from constant preflop aggression in stealing the blinds and antes. Once in a while, Aalders would show an ace from his hand to keep himself honest, but other than that it was nothing but steady growth for his chips stack.

Alexandre Fracari Bubbles LAPT Florianopolis!

The crowd gathers to witness the bubble hand
The crowd gathers to witness the bubble hand

Alexandre Fracari was all in preflop for about 40,000 chips over on the feature table as the rest of the room watched from the outskirts on the television screens hung at the top of the final table stage. Francisco Azocar was his opponent and the player everyone in the room was hoping would win the hand to bust the bubble.

Azocar: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Fracari: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Azocar pulled to the lead with an ace hitting the felt. The turn was the {3-Spades} and the river the {5-Clubs} to send Fracari out the door as the last player to bust from the tournament without anything to show for it. Everyone remaining is now in the money and earning at least $4,619.
