Players are going on the last 15-minute break of the day. There are three more 40-minute levels left to play before they bag up their chips for the night.
Leonardo Rizzo raised to 17,000 in middle position and Gabriel Tavares called in the big blind.
Rizzo bet 20,000 on the 6♠4♠K♦ flop and Tavares called. Both players then checked the 7♥ turn.
Tavares moved all in for 125,000 on the 2♥ river, and Rizzo quickly called. Tavares then turned over 7♠4♥ for two pair.
"Eliminacao!" Rizzo shouted out, turning over K♣2♣ for a rivered two pair to win the pot and send Tavares to the rail.
Ivan Luca raised to 17,000 in middle position, Ottomar Ladva three-bet to 50,000 in the cutoff, and Luca called.
Both players checked the Q♦J♣5♥ flop. Luca then led out for 25,000 on the 6♥ turn, Ladva raised to 85,000, and Luca called.
The river was the K♣ and Luca moved all in. Ladva took a few seconds before calling for his last 158,000, and Luca showed 8♦8♠. Ladva turned over K♠9♠ for a rivered pair of kings to win the pot and double up.
Ladva took some more off Luca a few hands later when they built a pot of around 100,000 going to the turn on a board of 10♥10♠5♥Q♠. Both players checked to the Q♦ river, and Ladva then bet 140,000 from middle position. Luca called in the big blind, and Ladva turned over Q♥8♥ for a full house to win another big pot off Luca.
Rafael Mota was the latest player to join the field.
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 16,000 in middle position with Q♠J♠ before Leandro Zavodini picked up K♠K♦ in the cutoff and three-bet to 40,000. Chaoui called.
The K♥4♠3♠ flop gave Zavodini top set and Chaoui a flush draw. Zavodini then bet 16,000, and Chaoui called.
The turn was the 2♣ and Zavodini bet 55,000. Chaoui folded his draw this time, and Zavodini took the pot.
Action folded to Dennys Ramos in the small blind who moved all in for 101,000, and Ottomar Ladva called in the big blind.
Dennys Ramos: Q♦8♦
Ottomar Ladva: A♠4♦
Ladva hit top pair on the A♦J♥K♠ flop, while Ramos was looking to complete a straight draw. The J♣ turn was no help, while Ladva remained in the lead through the 3♣ river to send Ramos to the rail.
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 16,000 in middle position with A♣K♣ and Leandro Zavodini called on the button holding Q♠J♠. Fabiano Kovalski also came along in the big blind.
The flop came 8♣7♠4♠ and action checked to Zavodini who bet 25,000. Both opponents called and the K♠ fell on the turn.
Zavodini then bet 45,000 with his turned flush and Kovalski folded, while Chaoui also gave up top pair and surrendered the pot to Zavodini.
