Figueroa's finally hits the felt

David Figueroa has been all-in more than any other player today but sucking out with {k-Spades}{4-Spades} over Steven Black's {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} was a step too far. Black had raised from the cut-off to 25,000 and Figueroa had moved all-in for 131,000. Black took his time to make the call which was effectively for his entire stack and held to double up to 270,000.

Brazilian bust

Jose Carlos Romero Rodrigues has become out 33rd place finisher. He was very short and in the big blind. He was given action by the button and the small blind but his {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} was out-flopped by the small blind’s {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The final board read {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

With that another table has broken. Four tables of eight remain so we have to lose one more table and play will conclude for the day.

Conrad cracked

Chris Conrad has a lot of heart. He's had more than his fair share of beats but keeps bouncing back from them and he's got another to add to the litany. His 24,000 raise was moved on for 170,000 by Jose de la Guardia. Conrad insta-called with {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} while de la Guardia could only muster {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} but it was the man from Panama that was left shouting as an ace smacked the flop denting Conrad's stack down to 350,000.

'How can you not be happy getting it in with ace-king there?'

Erick Cabrera moved all-in under the gun for 90,000 and Jacob Baumgartner moved all-in over the top. Cabrera didn't look that happy and showed {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} to the American's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. 'Slowroll?' questioned Baumgartner, 'How can you not be happy getting it in with ace-king there?' The flop brought an ace and Baumgartner failed to catch any backdoor outs dropping him down to a little over 200,000.

200k double-ups

Pamela Espinosa and Ben Barrows have both doubled-up within moments of each other to just over 200,000.

Espinosa moved all-in with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} from the SB when the action folded around to her and was called by Jorge Schwalb in the BB with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. She called for a five and it duly came on the flop.

Barrow’s double-up was a lot easier. He three-bet shoved with pocket jacks after an opponent raised. The opponent called with pocket nines but failed to spike a two-outer.

Goodnight Australia, O'Brien is out

Paul O'Brien hung in well and did his mother proud (she's been following the blog we've been told) but when he needed to win that all important flip his luck ran out. Valerio Valera had moved all-in from the button for 92,000 and was called all-in by O'Brien in the small blind. Jose Barbero had a long think before folding {3-}{4-} face-up in the big blind.

O'Brien: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Valera: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board didn't start well for O'Brien and never improved with {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Ironically enough had Barbero convinced himself to make the call he would have rivered a wheel and ko'd both players to scoop another 170,000.

Effio exits

Carlos Effio has been eliminated in 39th place by Luis Jaikel. The action folded around to Effio on the button and he moved all-in for 46,000 before Jaikel moved all-in from the next seat for 70,000 with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Effio tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} but failed to hit on the {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board.
