Ponce Pounces
With over 100,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Carlos Ponce checked and opened the door for his opponent, Simon Campo, to bet 45,000. Not to be outdone, Ponce check-raised to 120,000, which sent Campo into the tank.

Jairo Shoves
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Gilberto Castillo raised to 35,000 from middle position and cleared the field all the way to Jhon Jairo in the big blind, who moved all in for 237,000. Castillo gave it some thought but decided 200K was too much to risk. Just like that, Jairo picked up some much-needed chips.
Jairo Gets Revenge On Bertoli
A series of preflop raises led to Tulio Bertoli all in for about 270,000 with 
against Jhon Jairo's 
.
Bertoli was already up 1-0 on races with Jairo, so how would he fare this time? All looked well after the 
flop, but the 
spiked on the turn. The river didn't save Bertoli, out in 27th place.

appeared on the flop, Pardo check-called a bet of 41,000, leading to the 
turn. It went check-check, and the dealer revealed the on the river.
This time Pardo took the initiative and led out for 120,000, which Corvalan called. Pardo sheepishly turned over 
for a missed flush draw, which was no good against Corvalan's 
.
