Everyone Chasing Csome on Day 2
Welcome back for Day 2 of the Latin American Poker Tour Main Event in Sao Paulo, Brazil brought to you by PokerStars.net. Yesterday, the previous record of 394 entrants for the largest-ever LAPT Main Event was shattered by the 536 runners who came out to play this time around. That just goes to show how much poker is growing around Latin America, with most of the credit belonging to everything that PokerStars.net has provided and brought to the table in this region.
After 10 levels of play were completed yesterday, less than a third of the field remained. Out of those 167 players who will be returning at noon today for Day 2, Leandro Csome leads them all with 271,100 in chips. Only two other players eclipsed the 200,000-chip mark. Those two are Emerson Baroni with 206,000 and Amos Ben Haim with 203,400.
Returning for Day 2 are 42 PokerStars qualifiers, six Team PokerStars members and two PokerStars players. Those rocking Team Pro or Team Online patches are Jose "Nacho" Barbero, Humberto Brenes, Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck, Christian de Leon, Jorge Limon and Angel Guillen. Barbero already holds two LAPT titles and is still very well alive in this quest for a third with 75,700 in chips.
Play resumes in a bit at 12:00 PM local time. The plan is to dwindle the field of 167 down to just 24. That could take a while, but we'll give it our best shot. No matter how long the day is, you can bet that PokerNews will be on hand for all of it to provide you all of the live action straight from the floor. Stay tuned!

Bridges to Sell
Level 11

Nacho Barbero was humming to himself as play started at Table 4. He opened a pot to 3,500 from under the gun and was called by the big blind. Barbero continued for another 3,500 on a flop of 
and got a fold. His opponent showed one card: the 
.
"I think I was ahead of you with one," said the big blind. "I had ten-nine."
"Ten-nine off?" Barbero asked. "You should have raised and seen what happened."
"We'll gamble. Don't worry," his opponent replied.
Barbero started stacking his chips. "I don't gamble," he said. "I stick it in only with insurance."

Big Stack Bullies
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Leandro Csome is the chip leader to start the day. He's putting his stack to good use. He limped into a pot from the small blind in front of Jaime Amorim, who declined his big blind option. Csome led out on a flop of 
, with Amorim calling to the 
turn, a seeming blank. Csome checked to Amorim. Seizing the initiative, Amorim put 4,000 into the pot. Csome took down the pot from there with a check-raise to 13,700.
A few tables away, Rodrigo Vieira tried something similar but got different ressults. Sitting with the button, he called a raise to 4,000 from a middle-position layer. That player continued for 5,000 on a ten-high flop, 
. Vieira tried to take the pot away with a raise to 12,000, but his opponent responded by moving all in for 53,000. Vieira quickly folded.
Guillen Joins De Leon on the Rail
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Angel Guillen and Christian De Leon, fellow Team PokerStars Pros, spent all day on the same table yesterday, both struggling just to get through the day. It seemed as if each was one hand away from busting out for most of the day, but both made it through to Day 2.
Now both are busto in the first half hour of the day. We spotted Guillen standing up from his table and zipping up his sweatshirt, his stack depleted.
