Columbia's Mayu Roca Uribe opened from the button and Michael Benvenuti called from the small blind. The pair shared the 
flop and Benenuti checked to his opponent. Uribe made it 6,500 to call and Benvenuti called.
The

Aaron Schaff checked from the small blind, Mayu Roca Uribe checked in the big blind and Raymond Dandrey bet 9,500 into 20,000 on a 
board. Only Shcaff called and it was the end of the aggression actions as both Schaff and Dandrey checked the 
river Schaff winning the pot with his

With temperatures in the Amazon Room having plummeted to previously unseen lows, the artificial cold has many of the remaining 27 players talking.
Jon "PearlJammer" Turner has been seen blowing into his hands all day, trying his best to warm up. Maria Ho, meanwhile, was sipping on either a coffee or hot chocolate, while Nicholas Cardyn wore a dashing scarf to ward off the cold. Goran Filipovic has been heard asking passersby on the rail for gloves or mittens to no avail.
One player who does not appear to be fazed by the frigid temperatures, however, is Russian pro Ivan Demidov. Despite shivering his way to a double up yesterday, the Moscow native appears to have acclimated to the cold, as he is still sporting a short-sleeved T-shirt here today.
With the Amazon Room now being called the Antarctic Room by many players, we've compiled a few choice tweets regarding the freezer like conditions that have swept through the Rio.
Love my iPad, but a little embarrassed that I just now realized it could be used as a hand warmer to brave the Rio weather!Follow @PearlJammed
@WSOPTD Any chance to turn A/C a bit warmer in tourney area. Players will feel more comfortable& Rio gets to save electric. #WinWin4Every1Follow @LuckBoxJuanda
I'm not saying it's cold in here @WSOPTD but the drip from my nose just formed an icicle! #NotComplainingThoughFollow @SavagePoker

Goran Filpovic checked to John Juanda on a 
flop, Juanda bet 7,500 and Filpovic called. Both players checked the 
turn but Filpovic led for 18,500 on the 
river. Juanda seemed genuinely puzzled by Filpovic's line, so much so that he folded.
Maria Ho opened to 5,000 from the button and saw Jon "PearlJammer" Turner three-bet all in for 30,500 from the big blind. Mo made a few calculations in her head before calling.
Ho:

"I knew it was close," said Ho when she saw Turner's hand.
The 
flop made a chop a possibility, but that never happened as the turn and river were the and

to play and double him up.

Myro Garcia checked from the big blind on a 
board and saw John Juanda bet 59,000. Garcia called and the river paired the board as it was the . Garcia checked again and Juanda added two yellow 1,000 chips to the small stack of 500's he was riffling and it looked like he was going to bet extremely small. That was until he announced he was all in!
Juanda had 171,000 behind and had Garcia covered three times. Juanda's shove literally rocked Garcia who obviously had a big hand judging by how much pain he looked to be in! A full five minutes later, Garcia folded.
"Show the bluff!" said Justin Oliver in Seat 4, "If you show the bluff you are the man!"
The dealer didn't put Juanda's cards into the muck and Juanda looked to be pondering showing his cards, but instead laughed and said a simple, "No."
Facing off against the tournament's chip leader, former November Niner Ivan Demidov was unafraid to flip for a big pot, and the Russian's gamble paid off in a big way.
The action started with Demidov opening to 6,200 from the small blind, and Chidwick using his big stack to make a three-bet of 15,500. Demidov responded by moving his last 90,100 into the middle, and Chidwick called with his .
Demidov tabled the 
and he was racing for his tournament life. The flop of 
gave Chidwick a slew of additional outs if the board paired, or if a jack appeared to fill in his gutshot straight draw, but the 
on the turn was a brick. Chidwick now needed any ace, queen, jack, ten, or eight to win the pot, and give himself an overwhelming chip lead heading into the stretch run.
River: 
Demidov managed to fade half the deck, and he exhaled with relief after surviving a particularly harrowing all-in confrontation.
