Bad to Worse for Baroni
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Amos Ben Haim has joined Emerson Baroni's table and just caught a helluva turn card to drag a huge pot from Baroni. We got there in time to see Ben Haim lead out for 41,500 on the river of a 
board. Baroni made a quick call and was visibly angered to see Ben Haim turn up 
for queens full of jacks. Baroni flung his cards face up on the table to reveal the black jacks, 
, for jacks full of queens. After paying off the river bet he went for another walk, depleted all the way to just 55,000.
Ben Haim now has about 350,000.
Vieira's Big Pair Nets Big Pot
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Emerson Baroni drew a tough seat today, sitting to the immediate right of fellow big stack Rodrigo Vieira. Vieira got the best of Baroni in a big pot the two just played. On a flop of 
, Baroni led out for 35,000. Vieira quickly moved all in for about 130,000, which was way too much for Baroni. He snap-folded, then went for a walk to the rail after Vieira showed pocket queens. Baroni is seemingly unhappy about his state of affairs, down to 142,000 chips.
After stacking up that pot, Vieira increased his count to about 205,000.
Moving to Eight-Handed Play
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
With ten tables left in the tournament, the field will now transition from 9-handed play to 8-handed play. Once the transition is complete, the rest of the tournament will play out 8-handed.
Etter Lives Again
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Up and down, up and down. That's been David Etter's story in Sao Paulo. He's ticking up again after doubling through an American player. Joao Bauer opened the pot pre-flop to 5,300 before the American moved all in for about 50,000. Etter had roughly the same amount and shoved behind, forcing Bauer out of the pot. Etter's 
were racing against the American's 
. Etter wa happy not to see an ace or a king flop, 
, but still had to fade a lot of cards. The turn and river were both small diamonds, 
and 
. The American was crippled to 3,330 while Etter now has about 100,000.
"I'm still a favorite to win this," the American said, tongue planted firmly in check. Then he added, "Why couldn't it just come a 10 straight away? Why did it have to be two spades?"

to lay down another broadway straight, but was wrong when his opponent tabled the 
for a stone bluff, playing the board. Nadal shook his head as his watched the pot pushed the way of his celebrating opponent. He's down to 252,000 now.
