Maridu Mayrinck already put a big bump in the road for Jose Ignacio Barbero if he wants to make if three LAPT titles in a row. Mayrinck held pocket nines and flopped a set against Barbero's pocket aces. She took a big pot from Barbero to push her stack to roughly 39,000 while Barbero was left with just 7,000 in chips. It's still early and that's still 140 big blinds, but Barbero isn't too happy at the moment.
Over in the overflow area where's there an extra 12 tables set up for play, one of the tables is quite packed with players. In the one seat is Maridu Mayrinck, in the six seat is Jose Ignacio Barbero, in the seven seat is Andre Akkari and in the nine seat is Angel Guillen. That should be a fun table to keep an eye on.
