Ospina Stuck in Reverse

Prior to the last break, action folded around to an unknown player on the button and he raised to 2,000. Daniel Ospina was in the big blind and opted to defend, leading to the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. Ospina then turned around and led out for 2,200, which the button quickly raised to 5,400.

Ospina made the call and then ended up check-folding to the button's 10,000 bet on the {K-Diamonds} turn. With that, Ospina was down to approximately 15,000.

No Way Jose

We're not sure of the action as Table 25 is not easily accessible, but we do know that Juan Jose was recently eliminated from the LAPT-Colombia Main Event. From what we could piece together, Jose was all in with {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} and up against the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} of an unknown opponent. We don't know when the money went in (though we imagine it was pre flop), but we do know the board read {3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Mayu Roca Uribe Eliminated

Mayu Roca Uribe - Eliminated
Mayu Roca Uribe - Eliminated

A player in middle position opened to 2,100 and action folded to Mayu Roca Uribe in the big blind. He popped it to 5,200, but was unable to shake his opponent.

The flop fell {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Uribe bet 5,600. His opponent paused momentarily before raising all in with the bigger stack. Uribe called all in immediately for 19,000 and tabled {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. He was well ahead of his opponent's {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, but the {A-Spades} spiked on the turn. A dejected Uribe shook his head as the {6-Diamonds} river officially ended his tournament.

Ospima Struggling

With about 20,000 in the pot and a board reading {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, an unknown player in the big blind moved all in for 16,500 and put the pressure on his sole opponent, Daniel Ospina. The man currently in second place in the LAPT Player of the Year race thought long and hard as a call would cost him the remainder of his stack, 16,300.

After a couple minute's deliberation, Ospina released his hand and chose to pick a better spot.

Castro Sitting Tight

A player in middle position raised to 2,600 and found a caller in Andres Castro. The player in the big blind then moved all in for approximately 12,000, which pushed the original raiser out of the pot. Castro contemplated the call, knowing full well he had enough chips to take a chance, but he erred on the side of caution and laid down his {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. It turned out to be a wise decision as the big blind showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Shark Infested Waters

Humberto Brenes

Action folded to Humberto Brenes on the button and he put in a raise to 2,900. The small blind was quick to fold, but the big blind decided to defend. Both players proceeded to check the {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop, leading to the {10-Diamonds} turn. Once again the big blind checked, opening the door for "The Shark" to bet 3,600. It was enough to take down the pot, bringing Brenes up to approximately 40,000.
