Five players saw the flop for 600 each and it came down 
. Everyone checked to the last player and he fired a bet of 1,000. The first two players folded, the third one called and then chip leader Hobart Adkins raised to 4,000. Both his remaining opponents folded and he won the pot. Adkins was kind enough to show and revealed the 
for a flopped two pair. He's up to about 88,000 now.
The players are on their second 15-minute break of the day. While you wait, check out Lynn Gilmartin's attempted tour around Sao Paulo, until the rain came:

After a few folds, Leo Fernandez opened pre-flop to 775. Action passed to the small blind, who re-raised to 2,150. At the same time, Humberto Brenes knocked over a can of guarana, spilling some onto the table in front of his stack.
While Brenes frantically rubbed a paper napkin on the spreading stain on the felt, Fernandez called the re-raise. His opponent led out for 3,150 on a king-high flop, 
. Brenes' efforts resulted in lots of little bits of paper napkin sprinkling the felt on top of the stain as the napkin began to disintegrate under Brenes' hand. Fernandez said something in Portuguese to Brenes, making a dabbing motion on the table, then folded his hand. He's down to about 17,000. For his part, Brenes needs a new can of guarana.

After cresting at about 89,000 chips, Hobart Adkins is slowly falling back to Earth. He's down to 69,000 after being part of a five-way flop for 850 chips. Adkins had the button and made a small lead of 1,200 after everyone else checked a king-high flop, 
. One player folded before the pre-flop raiser check-raised to 5,275. THere was no further action as all other players (including Adkins) folded.
