Table consolidation has concentrated the biggest stacks all on the same table. Pablo Gonzales (625,000), Daniel Ospina (580,000) and Karlo Lopez (505,000) rank 1-2-3 in the field, and all are seated together. We'll see if they avoid each other or are eager to mix it up, as Derek Lerner (135,000) and Joao Neto (150,000) were earlier.
We're another table into the money. Each of these players was eliminated and received $3,870:

The last 35 players are on their third 15-minute break of the day. When they come back, play won't stop until only 24 remain.
Joao "Jack Bauer" Neto has been playing fast and loose at his table for most of the day. It finally caught up to him in a hand against Pablo Gonzales. Neto must have thought he could push Gonzales off a hand when Neto shoved all of his chips in on the flop with just a gutshot straight draw. Gonzales made a set and got right in there. Neto never filled his draw, doubling Gonzales up. Gonzales now has 625,000 while Neto is down to 125,000.
The following players have been eliminated. Each received $3,870:
41st: Marcos da Silva
42nd: Jorge Zuazo
43rd: Andre Akkari
44th: Cristian Velasquez
45th: Yueh Ru Tsai
46th: Leo Fernandez
47th: Humberto Brenes
48th: Juan Mantilaro
Team Online player Karlo Lopez is up to 370,000 in chips after winning a huge flip against Joao Gonzalves. We're not sure when all the chips got into the pot, but Lopez' ace-king paired kings on the flop against Gonzalves' pocket tens. Gonzalves isn't out, but he's down to 70,000.
Derek Lerner and Joao "Jack Bauer" Neto continue to battle it out in the front of the room. ON a board of 
, Lerner bet 10,000 and was raised by Neto to 38,000.
"I'm not even going to be mad if he beats me," Lerner said before making the call. Neto showed 
for two pair, kings and tens. Lerner mucked what he said was pocket eights. Neto's count is 410,000; Lerner is down to 275,000.
The Day 1 chip leader, Daniel Ospina, had a slow start to the day but he appears to be cruising once again. His count is comfortably up to 465,000.
Level: 16
Blinds: 2,500/5,000

There have been three post-bubble eliminations, and two of them were Team PokerStars Pros. Humberto Brenes followed his son Roberto out the door just a few moments after the bubble burst when his pocket nines couldn't out-run ace-king.
Several hands later, Leo Fernandez found himself in a big pot. On the turn 
, his opponent Samar Hodali led 40,000 into 80,000. Fernandez tanked for about two minutes before moving all in for 86,500 total. It was 46,500 back Hodali, more than half her remaining chips. She tanked for three minutes, and time was called and counted down to three seconds, before she called. Fernandez turned up 
for top pair; Hodali showed 
for a pair of sevens. Fernandez' head sank to the felt as the river fell 
to rudely end his tournament by giving Hodali two pair.
The last remaining Team Pro is Andre Akkari (or rather, his seat). He'll be out in a few moments.
48 players in the LAPT Peru Main Event are now in the money. Their jubilation comes at the expense of Roberto Brenes. He three-bet to 50,000 with 
after Joao Neto opened to 10,000. Neto moved in, forcing Brenes to put his last 40,000 into the pot. Neto showed down pocket jacks. The flop came with two spades, 
, and the turn paired Brenes' nine. The river, however, was the blank 
to end Brenes' tournament.
"VAMO!" shouted Neto. He grabbed the Brazilian flag off of Andre Akkari's chair, waved it, and added, "Brasil!"
"Jesus, a guy just bubbled," said the still steaming Derek Lerner. "This isn't the World Cup."
