One of the potentially more compelling storylines of this tournament has been put to bed. Jose "Nacho" Barbero, who won back-to-back LAPT titles during Season 3 at Punta del Este and Lima, has been eliminated from the tournament. He will not be capturing a third title here in Sao Paulo.
Emerson Baroni had been making all the right moves since flopping a set of aces against a set of tens yesterday. He made his first mistake against the button player at his table. That player opened with a raise to 5,500. Baroni got a rough count on the player's stake, then re-raised from the small blind to 31,000. Rodrigo Vieira folded the big blind, giving the button a clean shot to move all in for 44,800. Baroni called in a shot but was disgusted to see that his 
was out-pipped by the button's 
. That 10 kicker was the difference on a board of 
.
Baroni is down to about 160,000.
From the button, Alex Brenes raised to 6,000. Only the player in the big blind called and the flop came down 
. Both players checked and the appeared on the turn. The big blind checked and Brenes bet 6,000. His opponent called.
The river completed the board with the 
and both players checked. After the big blind turned up the 
for a busted flush draw, Brenes tabled the 
and the two wound up chopping up the pot.
Carlos Mironiuk is a talkative player at the table. Unfortunately we can't understand a word he's saying (that whole language barrier problem). He was recently involved in a pot that he opened pre-flop. A short stack then three-bet all in and was called by a player behind. When action passed to Mironiuk he moved all in as well, or about 170,000.
Mironiuk's huge bet put the third player to a tough spot. Chatter commenced and lasted a few minutes. Finally, the third player folded and seemed not to be able to believe that Mironiuk had 
. The short stack had 
for a flip. This round went to Mironiuk, 
. He's up to about 220,000.
Lance Climo has seen all of his chips vanish after he got the money in on the turn with the board reading 
holding the 
. His opponent had the 
.
The river completed the board with the and ended the hand to send Climo out the door.
Leandro Csome has some competition at the top in the form of Santiego Nadal.

We added a word to our two-word Portuguese vocabulary when Bruno De Oliveira Severino moved all in for 10,200 from early position. A player behind him then over-shoved for 16,700 and was called by a third player. Severino had the worst of it with . He was up against 
and 
, respectively. The big stack's pair of nines held on a flop of 
, but Severino turned the to make top pair, good for a triple up after the 
river. The other all-in player lost the side pot.
"Eliminação!" shouted the dealer, holding up that player's seat card.
