Pino is the New Chip Leader
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Given the relative dearth of action (with an average stack of 17 big blinds, none of the last five players has much of a stack) we were surprised to see a big pot play out between Raul Pino and Kemal Ferri. On a raised flop of 
, Pino had first action and bet 180,000. Ferri quickly called that bet, then called another 180,000 on the 
turn. When the river fell 
, Pino lowered his bet slightly to 150,000. Ferri quickly called with 
but couldn't beat Pino's 
.
Pino is up to 2.4 million, while Ferri sinks to 1.4 million.
Samar Hodali Eliminated in 5th Place ($38,700)
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Raul Pino had been pushing Samar Hodali around a little bit. It looked like he might be doing it again when Hodali raised the button to 190,000 and Pino snap-re-raised all in. It was a decision for all of Hodali's chips. She tanked for about two minutes before calling.
Showdown
Hodali: 
Pino: 
"Chiquititas!" implored the dealer. She got her wish all the way until the river, 
. The river paired Pino's king and gave him the best hand and the pot. Hodali slammed the table in frustration, then kissed Pino on the cheek before departing in 5th place.
Michel Barham Eliminated in 4th Place ($54,180)
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
No sooner had Samar Hodali departed the stage then two of the remaining four players were mixing it up again. Short-stacked Michel Barham's ace-queen was all in pre-flop against Kemal Ferri's pair of sixes. Ace-queen never improved, paving the way for Ferri to drag the pot and send Barham to the rail in fourth place.
The last three players are now on a break. When they return they'll be playing the following stacks:
Raul Pino - 3,485,000
Kemal Ferri - 2,415,000
Pablo Gonzalez - 1,100,000
A Little Mirth for the Final Three
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Sitting with the button, Kemal Ferri limped into the pot. Raul Pino completed the small blind and Pablo Gonzales checked the big blind. All three checked the flop and the turn. At the river 
, Pino folded his first action and Gonzales folded right behind him, allowing Ferri to take down the pot without an aggressive action or a showdown!
Break Time

: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Gonzales Staves Off Elimination... For Now
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
With blinds of 50,000 and 100,000, the 775,000 stack that Pablo Gonzales came back to after the break wasn't going to last long playing three-handed. He got his last 360,000 chips in the middle with 
against Raul Pino's 
. A queen on the river, 
, pushed Gonzales back up to 850,000.
Pablo Gonzales Eliminated in 3rd Place ($73,540)
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Pablo Gonzales doubled up once but he couldn't do it twice. He moved all in with 
and was snap-called by Kemal Ferri, who showed down 
. An unimproved ace was all Ferri needed to eliminate Gonzales on a board of 
. Gonzales leaves in 3rd place with $73,540. The tournament is now heads-up between Ferri and Raul Pino.
