Can Ospina Go Wire to Wire?

Somehow, some way, the 2011 PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour Peru Main Event has made it through the biggest weekend in the history of online poker to Day 4 and the final table. It hasn't been easy, but now only eight players are left in contention for the top prize of $207,000.
Leading the way, as he has on every single day of this tournament, is Colombian Daniel Ospina. Ospina hit a rough patch towards the end of the day yesterday when native daughter Samar Hodali doubled through his kings with ace-queen, then took out 10th-place finisher Mayu Roca to almost take over the chip lead.
But Hodali didn't quite overtake Ospina, and so far the third day in a row Ospina starts as the chip leader. He'll have just north of 50 big blinds when play resumes with 35 minutes left in Level 24. It's not much, but it's far better than almost any other player.

No Flops, No Three-Bets
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Play has started out very, very tight at today's final table. The button has been around the table once, with every hand being won by a single pre-flop raise. Chip leader Daniel Ospina has been the largest beneficiary so far. Short stack Karlo Lopez moved all in once but was not called.
Set Over Set Disaster for Hodali
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
It took more than an orbit to find the first flop. When it finally came it was a cooler disaster for Samar Hodali. She called from the button after Daniel Ospina opened pre-flop to 72,000. Big blind Pablo Gonzales also called to a three-way flop of 
. Ospina continued for 106,000, with both opponents calling him.
Those calls were enough to cause Ospina to slow down in a big way on the 
. He checked behind Gonzales' check. That opened the door for Hodali to bet 200,000. Gonzales then moved all in for 448,000. Ospina folded; Hodali quickly called with bottom set, 
. Gonzales, however, had middle set with 
. There was no deuce on the river.
After the hand, Gonzales stood up, walked to Hodali's seat and kissed her lightly on the cheek, a small consolation for a very unlucky hand.
Hodali is down to about 875,000. Gonzales is flirting with the chip lead with 1.45 million.
Gonzales is the New Chip Leader
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Riding the momentum from his double-up against Samar Hodali, Pablo Gonzales decided to take on the chip leader. Gonzales opened to 80,000 pre-flop, then called Ospina's three-bet to 180,000. Both players checked a paired flop of 
. Gonzales checked again on the 
turn, inducing a bet of 215,000 from Ospina. Gonzales quickly called.
Both players checked the 
river. Gonzales opened a pair of 9s, 
, then slapped the table in triumph after Ospina mucked. Gonzales is now the chip leader with 1.83 million, while Ospina is just barely above 1.0 million.
