Roberto Brenes - Humberto's son - has just been eliminated from today's event.
It was a cooler of a hand where Brenes held 
on a 
(X) flop against an opponent's 
.
Brenes was unable to find any help on the turn or river, and unfortunately made his way to the rail.
Once out of the main tournament room, Brenes made his way over to his Dad to discuss the hand.
A visibly upset Roberto appeared to nearly shed a tear, until Humberto managed to calm his son down before returning to his table and his near 16,000-chip stack.
On a flop of 

, Jose Ignacio Barbero made it 900 and found one caller before Angel Guillen bumped it to 1,800.
Both players made the call to see the
land on the turn before Guillen fired out a healthy bet of 7,300.
Barbero committed the remainder of his chips to be at risk against his fellow Team PokerStars Pro.
Barbero: 

Guillen: 

With Barbero drawing dead, he found himself on the unfamiliar outskirts of the tournament - the rail!
Guillen collected not only the pot to move to over 80,000, but also the prized scalp of Latin America's hottest running player!
Facing for limps of 150 ahead of him, Gualter Salles bumped it to 800 from the small blind.
The original limper made the call once the big blind folded, as the three other limpers all dropped out.
On the flop of 

, Salles paused for a moment before firing out a bet of 1,250 to prompt a quick muck from his opponent.
With that pot, Salles returns to his starting stack; and now sits with 20,650 in chips.
Veronica Dabul opened to 400 from under the gun, and found callers in two spots; one of which was the small blind.
The flop fell down 

, and following a check from the small blind, Dabul fired out a bet of 550.
She found a fold from one opponent before the small blind check-raised to 1,600.
Dabul spent sixty seconds deliberating her decision before slowly sliding her cards towards the muck to relinquish the pot while slipping to 13,500.
From early position, Humberto Brenes raised to 400. The player in the cutoff seat made the call and the two took a flop together. A monotone 

fell on the felt and Brenes fired a continuation bet of 800. His opponent called.
The turn brought the
and Brenes stayed on the gas, firing 1,000. His opponent flashed the
and mucked his hand. Brenes moved back to 19,000 in chips.
