One Table into the Money

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Nine players have already busted since the money bubble burst. Unfortunately the names of those nine players are inside the registration room, a room guarded by heavily armed men who are not allowing anyone in. Hopefully, by the time the field comes back from dinner, we'll be able to update the payouts properly.

Portaleoni Doubles

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Rodrigo Portaleoni was all in preflop with the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. He was up against the {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for his opponent. Portaleoni was covered by his opponent and all in for 82,000.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Portaleoni doubled up.

Rich = Richer

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

On the outer tables there have been two quick eliminations to start the post-dinner period. First Amos Ben Haim knocked out a short stack when pocket queens held against pocket jacks. Winning that pot pushed Ben Haim to 500,000 in chips.

A few moments later, Sergio Nadal opened a pot to 14,000 and was called by the cutoff player before Andre "Filha do Rei" Scaff moved all in for 114,000 from the big blind. Nadal took a few moments before deciding to call. The third player folded, leaving Scaff to draw with pocket 4s against Nadal's pocket 10s. Again the bigger pair held, allowing Nadal to climb to 560,000 and sending Scaff to the payout cage.

Huuummmbbeeerrtttooooo!

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes

The last Team PokerStars Pro remaining in the field is none other than Humberto Brenes. Action folded to Brenes in the cutoff during a hand not too long after recommencement from dinner break. He raised to 17,000. The button moved all in for just about 100,000. Everyone folded and Brenes made the call.

Brenes: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Button: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} to give Brenes the lead with a set of nines. He still needed to dodge an eight or a jack that would give his opponent the best hand.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and the river the {3-Hearts}. Brenes finished with a full house -- nines over threes -- after coming from behind and sent his opponent to the rail. Brenes now has 310,000 in chips.

Zapiello Busts One

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Daniela Zapiello
Daniela Zapiello

From under the gun, Antonio Fernandes moved all in for 72,000. Daniela Zapiello made the call from the cutoff seat holding the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The all-in-and-at-risk Fernandes held a dominated {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} and Zapiello won the hand. She eliminated Fernandes and moved to 235,000 in chips.

The João Bauer Power Hour

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

João Bauer (who, we must admit, we affectionately have started calling "Jack Bauer") doesn't just dodge bullets; he destroys them. Bauer got his whole 475,000-chip stack into the middle with pocket kings and ran smack dab into the pocket aces of Marcelo Andrade. But he's Joao Bauer; no mere bullets can stop Joao Bauer. Sure enough, Bauer matched his two kings with a third on the flop, {7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. The turn and river blanked out harmlessly, {9-Spades} and {4-Spades}. Andrade had managed to accumulate 397,000 chips until his brutal and sudden demise. When those chips were added to Bauer's stack, he took over the chip lead with about 875,000.

"You are lucky and good," said Amos Ben Haim in amazement.
