Alex Manzano isn't kidding around anymore. Sitting in the cutoff, he opened a pot pre-flop with a standard raise. Button player Fabio Colonese re-raised, clearing out the blinds. With action back to Manzano, he four-bet an additional 80,000.
Colonese took two to three minutes before five-betting an additional 120,000 on top of Manzano's four-bet. The seconds ticked quietly off the clock while Manzano pondered. With about a million left behind (against Colonese's 500,000), Manzano six-bet shoved. Colonese put his head down on the table, seemingly pained by his decision to call or fold. Several more minutes went by before he finally folded. Manzano casually flipped up 
! Colonese tapped the table "good hand" and showed one card, the

Action folded to Bruno Politano on the button and he moved all in for 303,000. Raphael Martins made the call from the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Martins: 
As you can see, Politano's steal attempt found him dominated with his tournament life on the line. Luckily for him though, Martins may have used up all of his run good earlier against Amos Ben Haim when he spiked trips on the turn to stay alive. The board ran out 
and Politano hit a six to double up. Martins was left shaking his head as he was knocked down to 133,000 in chips.
From the button, Cristian Velasquez moved all in for what looked to be around 360,000. Gerado Godinez made the call from the big blind when he looked down to see the

The flop came down 
to give Velasquez a flush draw. The turn was the and gave him a flush to secure his double up. The river completed the board with the

Godinez was knocked down to under 200,000 from what we can see. Once again, our view is limited due to restricted access to the feature table.

A severely short-stacked Raphael Martins open-shoved from late position with

From the hijack seat, Eduardo Costa open-shoved all in for 147,000. Amos Ben Haim reshoved behind him in the cutoff seat for 420,000. Everyone else folded. Ben Haim tabled the 
and was up against the 
for the at-risk Costa.
The flop came down 
to give Costa the lead with a pair of kings. Ben Haim began shaking his head and then the dealer dealt the 
on the turn to make matters worse and leave him drawing dead. The river completed the board with the 
.
Ben Haim sent over the chips and was not happy at all. He's down to under 300,000 now.
Caio Brites raised to 43,000 from the button. Guess who got aggressive with a reraise from the small blind? You're right, the ever-aggressive Alex Manzano. He three-bet to 210,000. Everyone folded and the aggression paid off again for Manzano. Brites was left with 290,000.
After getting extremely unlucky earlier with pocket aces, Gerardo Godinez was in "look for any hand" mode. He wound up shoving all in pre-flop with . Marcelo Fonseca was next to act and got in th ere against Godinez with . There was something for everyone on a flop of 
, but Fonseca retained the lead. The turn and river were both small cards, 
and , neither of which helped Godinez. He's out in 16th place.
