OCHO!

Alexis Gomez was all in pre flop for his last 200,000 or so holding {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} against the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} of Jhon Jairo. It was a bad spot for Gomez as his supporters on the rail called for an "Ocho"! Their request was honored as the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop delivered salvation for their man.

Neither the {A-Spades} turn nor {7-Diamonds} river changed a thing and Gomez doubled on the hand.

Jessica Bedoya

Stuart McDonald opened to 60,000 in the hijack and Marta Ramírez popped it to 120,000 on the button. Jessica Bedoya shoved from the big blind for 215,000 total and chased McDonald out. Ramírez called and the hands were turned over.

Bedoya: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Ramírez: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The flop fell {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and put Ramírez well out in front. The {5-Clubs} turn kept her there, but the {9-Spades} hit the river and sent Bedoya's rail into an absolute frenzy.

Luis Vayas Eliminated in 14th Place ($7,162)

Luis Vayas - 14th place
Luis Vayas - 14th place

Luis Vayas shoved for 180,000 on the button and was called by Jonathan Monsalves in the small blind.

Vayas: {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Monsalves: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Not a great spot for Vayas, but the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop gave him a few outs to win. The {6-Diamonds} turn, though, left him only two outs to survive. The {Q-Hearts} river sealed his fate, a 14th-place finish.

Jairo Races for His Tournament Life

David Garcia opened for 70,000 only to have Jhon Jairo move all in for 275,000 total on the button. After the blinds got out of the way, Garcia made the call and it was off to the races.

Showdown
Garcia: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Jairo: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop kept Garcia in the lead, but it did give Jairo outs to a straight. Wouldn't you know it, the said straight was completed when the {J-Hearts} spiked on the turn. Garcia was drawing dead as the {8-Diamonds} was run out on the river. Jairo survived the hand, doubling to 600,000, while Garcia was set back to 770,000.

Francisco Corvalan Eliminated in 15th Place ($7,162)

Francisco Corvalan (15th place)
Francisco Corvalan (15th place)

We're not sure of the betting action, but Francisco Corvalan found himself all in and up against Rafael Pardo. The two were very close in chips, which meant the winner of the hand would be in good shape while the loser would be out, or close to it.

Showdown
Pardo: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Corvalan: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

It was a classic race situation with Corvalan in the early lead, but that soon changed. The {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{Q-Spades} flop was disaster for Corvalan as it paired Pardo. The {6-Diamonds} turn that followed mean Corvalan was left drawing to one of the two remaining jacks in the deck.

There would be no Medellin miracle for Corvalan this day, as the {K-Diamonds} appeared on the river to send him home in 15th place for $7,162.
