Carlos Herrera eliminated in 7th ($28,000)

Two hands after we have another elimination and it's a bit of a cruel one. Ben Barrows opened the pot with a raise and then moved all-in when Carlos Herrera three-bet. Herrera snap-called with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}to create a 1.5million pot. Barrows was in bad shape with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} but with the help of "USA USA" shouts from his railers he hit trips on the {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop. The turn {6-Hearts} and river {8-Hearts} failed to bring a re-suck out and we're down to six.

Barrows up to 2.2million now.

Valerio Valera is out in 8th ($18,600)

Valerio Valera has been incredibly short several times these last couple of days but has had vital double ups just when he's needed it. But not this time.

Carlos Herrera opened the pot and Valerio Valera called all-in from the button for 79,000. Jose Barbero called the raise. Three players went to the {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop - one already all-in. Herrera bet 150,000 on the flop to isolate Valera with {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for top pair. Barbero moved out of the way and Valera showed {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The turn and river blanked and Valera left to applause.

Barbero gives back

Nacho Barbero has lost his first pot of the day in a blind battle. Rene Aguilar called from the SB and Barbero checked from the BB to see a {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop. Both checked to the {4-Hearts} turn where Barbero called a 80,000 bet before tank-folding to a 97,000 bet on the {j-Diamonds} river.

Castle Cadiz

Ismael Cadiz has built up a rock-like reputation and used right it could get him far at this final table. A small early position raise gets through and scoops the blinds.

Barbero comes out firing

Jose 'Nacho' Barbero has won a couple of pot with simple preflop raises so far. Several of the players at the final table look like they're there to climb the cash ladder. Barbero and Ben Barrows particularly look like they're out for the win. Expect a big crunch up between these two before the day is out.
