LAPT Mar del Plata Champion and tournament short stack Dominik Nitsche has recently bitten the dust.
We aren't exactly sure of how he was eliminated, but what we can tell you is that he is no longer in today's tournament.
With 3,750 in the pot and the flop reading 
, Victor Ramdin fired out a bet of 1,400 from the button.
His opponent - seated in the hijack - deliberated for a few moments before making the call.
Both players checked down the and 
on the turn and river as Ramdin tossed his cards into the muck at the sight of his opponent's 
.
Ramdin has now slipped to just 5,425 in chips.
On a board reading 
and with around 3,100 in the pot, Elliot Lee checked the action to his opponent from the blinds.
Tossing out a blue 5,000-denomination chip while uttering an amount in Portuguese, Lee mulled over his decision for a few moments before tossing in two 1,000-denomination chips to make the call.
Unfortunately he didn't understand the bet amount, and was forced to toss in another 200 in chips while tabling his 
.
Lee's two-pair however, would be the less superior hand as his opponent table his for a backdoor flush to collect the pot, and send Lee down to 7,400 in chips.
With the final board reading 
, Elliot Lee checked to his opponent and Team PokerStars Pro Argentina member Jose Ignacio Barbero. Barbero fired all in for 3,375. Lee took a moment and then made the call.
Barbero turned up the for a full house, kings full of threes. He doubled back to 10,700. Lee showed the and dropped back to 10,150.
Over on table 24, we find two of our notables looking as miserable as the weather Florianopolis has provided us!
Both Veronica Dabul and Dominik Nitsche are sitting relatively short in chips with the Team PokerStars Argentina Pro sitting on 12,625, while the 2009 LAPT Mar del Plata Champion is in more of a dire position with 6,525.
On the bright side, both do seem to be playing patiently, so an early elimination is unlikely at this stage.
On a board reading 
and the pot sitting at 2,350, Jose Ignacio Barbero checked the action over to Angel Guillen.
The Mexican fired out a bet of 1,500 to put Barbero deep into the tank as he slowly riffled the last of his remaining 5,550 in chips.
Several minutes went past as Barbero looked visibly distraught while contemplating this decision.
Eventually the two exchanged some inaudible banter before Barbero open-folded his 
.
As Guillen collected the pot to move to 46,800, he casually flashed the 
while slowly letting a cheeky smile out in the direction of Barbero.
On the board of 
, Angel Guillen fired out 2,500. Andre Akkari raised his bet to 5,400. Guillen tanked for a minute and then reraised to 17,100, enough to put Akkari all in. Akkari thought and thought before finally calling off his last 12,000 or so. He held the , but his behind the 
of Guillen.
The river completed the board with the 
and failed to put Akkari back in the lead. He lost the pot and was sent to the rail. Guillen moved to nearly 50,000 in chips.
