Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
I'm not going to lie. I was all set to write a "Jack Bauer"-themed recap of the action on Day 2 of the 2011 PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour São Paulo Main Event. It was going to be a brilliant on Brazil's João Bauer, who was leading things late. Then, in the final two hours of play, Chile's Alex Manzano threw a big ol' wrench into those plans.
Manzano, you see, turned into a set-flopping machine and started eliminating players almost at will. In rapid succession he took out three players: Alexis Zervos, against whom Manzano flopped top set and then faded a flush draw; Neuri Jose Campos, who got it in pre-flop with ace-king against Manzano's pocket queens, set on the flop for Manzano; and perhaps the run-best of them all, João Torres, whose pocket kings went down in flames to Manzano's pocket fours, all-in pre-flop for about 500,000, when Manzano flopped a third four.
I should be fair to Manzano. Although he ran great at the end of the day, he also played well in the early and middle stages of play. He put himself in a position to take each of those late-day hands to the river without putting himself at risk of busting by selectively and aggressively chipping up throughout the day.
Manzano wasn't the only person who chipped up by playing great. Although Manzano is at the head of the class with 1,189,000 chips, he has a few excellent competitors barely trailing him. The aforementioned João Bauer is next in line with 1,089,000 chips, thanks in no small part to a pot worth about 800,000 chips in which Bauer's pocket kings out-flopped Marcelo Andrade's pocket aces, all-in pre-flop. Right behind Bauer is Day 1 chip leader Leandro Csome. He put on a big-stack clinic on the bubble of the tournament by constantly putting his shorter-stacked competitors to the test for all of their chips. Csome flirted with 1,000,000 in chips late in the day before ultimately settling at 959,000.
Rounding out the Top Five are Bruno Foster (766,000) and Amos Ben Haim (687,000). Also still alive and returning tomorrow are Team PokerStar Pro (Costa Rica) Humberto Brenes (601,000) and Daniela Zapiello (235,000), a previous LAPT final tablist and the only woman remaining in the field.
Tomorrow the remaining 24 players will return at 1pm local time to play down to a final table of 8. We expect that process to take somewhere between six and eight hours, a relatively quick day compared to the lengthy first two days of this event. Until then, you can find us at the bar.
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
The severely short-stacked Angelo Mancini looked down at two face cards, 
, and moved all in for 51,000. Action passed two spots to Amos Ben Haim, who had been dealt pocket queens, 
. He re-raised to clear everyone else out. A queen-high flop, 
, left Mancini drawing at runners that didn't come. He has been eliminated in 25th place and play has paused for the night.
We'll have a full wrap of the day's events in a few moments.
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Joao Torres was all in preflop for just about 500,000 holding the 
. He was crushing the 
for Alex Manzano, but that all changed just moments after the money went in.
The flop rolled out 
and Manzano picked up a set of fours to take the lead. The turn brought the 
and the river the 
. Torres did not hold a spade to make a flush and Manzano's come-from-behind set finished him off.
Manzano is up to about 1.325 million in chips now.
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
We've had two all-in bets called on two different tables in the first five minutes of Level 19. In the first, the short-stack survived to double up from 51,000 to 110,000 with kings against queens.
Immediately thereafter, Jorge Pereira opened to 35,000 pre-flop. Action folded to Team PokerStars Pro Humberto Brenes in the small blind, who moved all in, a raise of about 250,000 back to Pereira. Pereira called with 
and was racing Brenes' 
. It was the in the window, prompting Brenes to raise his arms in the air and shout "HUMBERTO!" The rest of the flop was 
, giving Pereira a straight draw. He picked up a flush draw as well with the 
turn.
"No no no," said Brenes to the dealer. The river 
didn't didn't didn't help Pereira. His whole stack now belongs to Brenes, who's up to about 600,000.
