Stefano Vega’s is up to 80,000 chips and is playing like a man full of confidence in how his day is going. A player in the hijack raised to 2,200 and was only called by Vega in the next seat. The flop came 
and when the aggressor checked Vega said “Okay, information bet” and bet 2,200.
His opponent called quickly and Vega commented “Ah okay, you have ace-king!”
The turn came 
and both players checked through to the river where Vega bet 5,000 when checked to him. His opponent called but threw his cards into the muck when he saw Vega’s 
.
Michael Piper is one of the many players that is starting to look and play tired. Piper had called a middle position raise on the button and both players checked all the way through the 
board. Piper thought about betting the river before turning over the 
hoping he'd win it that way. He didn't and his opponent's 
took the pot with ace-high. As we approach the final level of the day some players are taking their foot off the pedal. There are definitely free chips to be won in the next 66 minutes.
Team PokerStars Argentina’s Leo Fernadez has been eliminated in some what of a cooler. He saw a 
flop with two other players after a raise pre-flop. The pre-flop aggressor c-bet for 2,000 before one player moved all-in and Fernandez called all-in. The aggressor folded to leave it heads-up. The Argentine opened 
for top pair, top kicker with the nut flush draw but his opponent had flopped bottom set with 
. The turn came 
to made quads for Fernandez’s opponent, ending the hand right there.
Jose Gonzalez is causing no little amount of consternation on his table because he doesn't seem to miss a flop and then refuses to be bluffed off whatever he's holding. He held on with 
for 2,150 on a 
flop - both players checked the 
turn - and another 3,500 on the 
river. His opponent said, 'How can you call on the river? You do realise that your two-pair is counterfeited by the pair of tens, right?!?' Well, that seemed to be the gist of what he was saying in Spanish anyway.
Don Mitch is representing The USA later this week in the PokerStars Americas cup and he’s just hit a one-outer to enable himself to keep representing himself in the main event here in Lima. He was very short-stacked and got it all-in with 
and was called by Daniela Zapiello with 
. The flop came but he fell behind on the turn but re-took the lead on the 
river. As he was stacked his stack worth 9,000 his neighbor Maria Mayrinck told him she folded a two so the river was the case two.
This is the second time that Chris Conrad has built up a decent stack. About an hour ago he lost a 65,000 pot and looked like he might tilt what was left of his stack anyway. To his credit he hasn't and is looking in a good situation with 55,000. To his left are a couple of players that don't appear to have been told that you're allowed to raise or fold pre-flop if you're in the blinds.
In the last hand witnessed Conrad raised from the cut-off to 1,525 and was called by both big and small blind. The big blind led 3,000 into the flop and was called by Conrad who then attacked a check on the turn with a 6,450 bet. The American flashed the 
before raking in the pot.
Jacob Baumgartner has emerged from nowhere; well from under his hoodie to claim the chip lead on 85,000. He told Pokernews that he’s been running like god today hitting quads once and a set twice. It’s impressive he’s managed to keep focused too as he has good friend Dash Dudley currently battling out for a bracelet at The Rio in Event #3: $1,000 NLHE.
