Just as Dominik Nitsche did before the previous break, Christian de Leon has made a quiet exit to the rail just prior to the second break of the tournament.
We unfortunately missed the hand, but with his seat empty, and de Leon now where to be found, we can only assume the worse.
The Team PokerStars Mexico Pro now leaves just Angel Guillen to represent their country; and with nearly 100,000 in chips, Guillen is definitely waving the green, white and red tricolor flag proudly!
Alexandre Gomes opened to 800 from under the gun and found a caller from the cutoff before the big blind bumped it to 2,300.
With the action back on Gomes, he deliberated for nearly ninety seconds before four-betting to 5,900.
The cutoff quickly folded, before the big blind went deep into the tank for nearly three minutes before sliding his 21,000-chip stack all in. Gomes made the call for his last 19,125, and we were to a showdown.
Gomes: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out a rather undramatic 
to see Gomes make his way to the rail to extend the growing list of PokerStars Team Pros on the rail.
Brandon Demes opened with a raise to 700 and got a call from the hijack seat and the small blind before the big blind reraised to 3,100. Demes put in another raise, making it 7,800 total. The hijack and small blind both folded. The big blind went into the tank, but eventually mucked his hand and Demes picked up the pot preflop. He's now up to 49,500.
Facing a raise to 600, a call, and then a cutoff three-bet to 2,950, Elliot Lee moved all in for 8,425 from the big blind.
The original raiser and caller folded, before the three-better made the call for the additional 5,375.
Lee:
Opponent: 
The flop of 
kept Lee in front, but the 
on the turn now gave him an additional four outs to fade.
Fortunately for Lee, the river landed the 
to see him double through to 19,500.
A massively loud yell of "Vamos!" came from across the room before we walked over to see what happened. Dan Frank was scooping a pot as he just doubled up through an opponent with pocket queens. Earlier, Frank let us know that he was going to double and then yell out after he did so. Both proved to be true. Here's what Frank said happened.
Frank opened from mid-late position to 800. His opponent called from later position and the two saw the flop come down 
with two spades. Frank checked and his opponent fired 1,000. Frank raised to 3,400 and his opponent quickly called.
The turn brought the 
and Frank fired 4,600. He left himself with only 1,600 behind and his opponent shoved in. Frank called it off, holding the 
. His opponent had 
with no spade.
The river completed the board with an 
and Frank was pushed the pot.He's now got about 21,000 in chips.
Gualter Salles opened to 750 from under the gun and was met with a call from a player on the button and the big blind.
Salles announced a bet that sounded similar to 800 when the 
flop fell as both his opponents instantly folded to see Salles collect the pot to move to over 25,000 in chips.
At most poker tournaments around the world, the clock displaying the blinds and how long remains in each level normally also displays the number of players that started, and that remain.
Unfortunately here at LAPT Florianopolis, the clock may have the blinds and time remaining in the level, but it doesn't inform everyone in the surrounding tournament area exactly how many players started and how many remain.
From our calculations with forty tables in play at the start of the day, and the majority of them being ten-handed, we devise that roughly 370 players began the day.
With only thirty-two tables still in operation, all at nine-handed minus some empty seats, it leaves roughly 285 players still in the tournament.
Until we get an exact number from the LAPT staff, we are going to stick with our astute calculations!
