Andre Akkari opened to 350 in early position and was called by the player on the button.
A 
flop fell and Akkari followed through with a continuation bet of 425. His opponent asked the dealer how much it was and upon hearing it was 425, he promptly raised to 4,000. Akkari sat motionless for a few moments before folding.

We didn't catch the hand, but were informed secondhand that Wilmer Gomez had just avoided disaster by making a nice laydown. It happened when Gomez opened for 5x the big blind and received a call from an unknown opponent. The flop came down jack high, and Gomez put out a bet after his opponent checked. A check-raise ensured, and Gomez wasted little time in folding 
face up.
The laydown must have impressed his opponent, who was gracious enough to show 
.

board, Leandro Csome bet 400 from the big blind. His opponent in middle position called to see the 
river. Csome checked, his opponent did the same, and Csome tabled 
for the nut flush.
His opponent flashed 
as Csome collected the pot.

Poker players love to use poker lingo in real life situations. Kristy heads to the beaches of Viña del Mar to show you how these terms apply at the beach.
Picking up the action on a 
flop, three players checked to see the 
turn. The player in the small blind bet 675 and was met with a call from Fernando Araujo (seventh place LAPT Punta del Este - Season 4) in the big blind and a player in middle position.
The 
river didn't change much and the small blind bet 2,225. Araujo popped it to 6,600, forcing a quick fold from the middle-position player. However, the small blind came back over top for an additional 14,000 or so and Araujo quickly mucked his hand.

Just before the last break, there was 3,300 in the pot and a board reading 
when Ariel Celestino checked to an unknown player, who bet 2,800. Celestino snap-called and waited for his opponent to show his cards, but it didn't come. Knowing he was good, Celestino showed 
for a set of aces, which was good enough to bring his stack up to 19,000.

With four players in the pot and a board reading 
, the small blind and an early-position player checked to Team PokerStars Pro (Argentina) Nacho Barbero and he bet 700. The next player to act was on the button and opted for a raise to 2,100. The small blind and EP player both folded, and Barbero followed suit after contemplating it for a moment.
It wasn't an overly exciting hand, but a good excuse for us to tell you that the two-time LAPT winner is sitting with 25K.
