It's a little cold here in Punta del Este as you can tell from the following tour around town where we battled the rain and wind. Although Punta is known for it's beaches, don't let that turn you off paying a visit at this time of year, there's plenty to do away from the sun and sand:

A four-way limped pot has resulted in a big double for Adolfo Vaeza.
When the flop fell 
, the player in the big blind bet 1,300. Vaeza popped it to 3,000, forcing folds from the other two players in the hand. The big blind called and when the 
hit the turn, he led out 4,000. Vaeza shoved for the remainder of his stack, 35,900.
His opponent thought about it for about 45 seconds before calling, tabling 
. Vaeza showed 
for a better straight and avoided a chop when the 
fell on the river.

Recently moved to the feature table, Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen was dealt 
.
With one limper in front of him Guillen rasied from the cutoff to 1,400, but saw the player in the small blind re-raise to 3,200.
The limper folded, Guillen called, and a flop of 
hit the board. The small blind led out for 4,200 and after about ten seconds of concentration, Guillen moved his entire stack in the middle for an additional 20,000-ish. The small blind, who had Guillen barely covered, called and turned up 
.
As the was delivered on the turn, the original limper admitted to folding the 
. That made the 
river card that much worse, as Guillen's opponent spiked the one-outer to score the elimination.
After the player in the hijack opened to 1,400, Team PokerStars Pro Greg DeBora shoved from the small blind for 6,700. The player in the big blind re-raised all in, isolating the pot against DeBora.

The board ran out 
, bringing no help whatsoever to DeBora and ending his tournament.
It's been a rough hour for members of Team PokerStars. The latest to fall is Christian de Leon.
Picking up the action after an flop, de Leon bet 6,000. His lone opponent in the hand called, landing the 
on the turn. A shove for about 15,000 was de Leon's final move, as his opponent called instantly with 
, having the hand locked up.
The river was a meaningless 
, officially ending de Leon's day.

With a short stack, Leo Fernandez had been waiting patiently for the best spot to get his chips into the middle.
Upon seeing Juan Jose Perez limp in and another opponent shove for 15,100, Fernandez called all in for 6,700 from the small blind. Perez called to put both players at risk, but trailed with 
against Fernandez's and the other player's 
.
However, the dealer ran out a 
board to give Perez a set, thus ending Fernandez's tournament just before Day 1 reached its end.
