Sergio Escobar - 6th place
Sergio Escobar - 6th place

Felipe Velasquez opened to 140,000 in the hijack and was called by Aliro Diaz in the cutoff. From the small blind, Sergio Escobar shoved for about 475,000. Velasquez isolated with an all-in re-raise of his own.

Showdown
Velasquez: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Escobar: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop paired Velasquez and left Escobar in a world of hurt. The {6-Diamonds} turn nor {7-Spades} river offered help, ending his Main Event run in sixth place.

Venegas Can't Get Diaz Off Sevens

Aliro Diaz opened for 160,000 from the cutoff and Javier Venegas three-bet to 290,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way, Diaz called, and the flop came out {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Diaz proceeded to check-call a bet of 180,000 before both players checked the {5-Spades} turn.

When the {10-Clubs} hit the river, Diaz checked, Venegas bet 325,000 and Diaz snap-called. Venegas revealed {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and Diaz was thrilled to see his {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} was best.

One For Diaz

Joao Lopes opened to 155,000 from the cutoff and Aliro Diaz defended his big blind.

The {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop was checked by Diaz, but not Lopes. He bet 180,000, but was met with a quick call. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} turn, leading to the {J-Spades} river. Diaz fired 355,000, enough to get Lopes to give it up.

Olivares Doubles Through the Chip Leader

Action folded to Leonardo Olivares in the cutoff and he opened for 180,000. Felipe Velasquez was next to act on the button and pushed back to the tune of 400,000. After the blinds got out of the way, Olivares moved all in for 1.115 million and Velasquez made the call.

Showdown

Olivares{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Velasquez{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Olivares was crushed and in need of some help in order to eliminate his opponent, but it was not meant to be as the board ran out an unexciting {4-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.
