Can Anyone Stop Daniel Ospina?
While the rest of the world continues to grapple with the fallout of the news emanating from New York, the 2011 PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour Peru Main Event marches on. 24 players return in about 30 minutes for Day 3, each with his or her eye on the top prize of $207,400. Sitting at the top of the heap, for the second day in a row, is Colombian player Daniel Ospina.
We've already written a bit on how Ospina is the "real deal" online, having made more than $100,000 in profit playing MTTs last year alone. He's the "real deal" in the live poker world too, as he ably demonstrated yesterday. He started the day with the chip lead and ended it with the chip lead but it was anything but smooth sailing in between.
Today the plan is to play down to the final table. Ospina, with almost double the chips of his nearest competitor and 16% of the chips in play, will be looking to crush dreams and own souls. We'll see if he's able to do that once cards are in the air, in about thirty minutes time. Stick around!
