Daniel Ospina opened to 4,500 in middle position. The player on the button three-bet to 13,600, getting folds from the players in the blinds. Ospina was quick to four-bet all in for 42,700, sending the three-bettor into the tank about 90 seconds before he called.

The flop was bad for Ospina, giving his opponent a flush draw. Sure enough, the turn sealed Ospina's fate. The was merely a formality as Daniel Ospina, the man currently in second place on the LAPT leaderboard, will not be adding points to his total in the Main Event.
Just before the break, action folded to an unknown player in the small blind and he opted to limp. Jason Sudol checked his option from the big, leading to the flop. The small blind checked, Sudol bet 2,500, and the hand came to an end. It wasn't much, but it gave us an excuse to let you know Sudol is up to 52,000.
Pablo Gonzalez has a golden opportunity to put some distance between himself and the rest of the field in the LAPT Player of the Year race, especially now that Daniel Ospina has been eliminated. Here is a look at the aforementioned leaderboard:

The player on the button came along for the ride, but then Luiz Filipe Andrade moved all in from the small blind for 37,000 more. Castro anguished over the decision a bit, ultimately laying down his hand, while the small blind tanked for a bit.
Eventually he folded too, and Andrade showed . The small blind was extremely relieved as he nformed Andrade that he had laid down . Andrade is up to around 55,000.
Luiz Filipe Andrade has been busy as of late. In a recent hand, action folded to Luiz Filipe Andrade in middle position and he opened for 6,200. The big blind was the only player to come along for the ride, and it was heads up to the flop. The big blind checked, Andrade bet 7,000, and a call ensued.
