Our friends over at the PokerStars Blog recently gathered this hand between Matthew Goldman and Juan Martin Abal, in which Goldman found a lucky ace on the river to double up through Goldman to about 120,000.
All of the money went in preflop with Goldman holding the 
and all in for approximately 60,000. Abal held the 
and was in prime position to eliminate Abal and move to 160,000 in chips, but then the poker gods had other things in mind.
The flop, turn and river ran out 
to give Goldman the double.
Diego Vilela opened to 2,600 in the cutoff, only to see Juan Jose Perez make it 7,500 to go from the button. Action folded back to Vilela who called.
The flop fell 
and Vilela checked. Perez bet 9,600, but was unable to shake Vilela. The 
turn fell and once again Vilela checked. Perez fired again, this time a hefty 42,000. Vilela, though, came along to see the river. Vilela went into the tank, eventually shoving for about 50,000. A snap call from Perez revealed 
for a straight. Vilela's 
was second best, ending his tournament just before the first break of the day.
Perez, meanwhile, appears to be the chip leader with about 310,000.

Last year's third-place finisher, Andres Korn, is still alive in this year's event.
We picked him up in small pot recently where he was in the big blind. There were two limpers in front of him and he checked, landing an 
flop. It was checked around, delivering the 
on the turn. The small blind checked, Korn bet 3,400, but quickly saw the original limper pop it to 11,400.
Both the small blind and Korn gave it up almost instantly.

After Carlos Watanabe limped under the gun and Ocaru Narcis Cristian limped in from the next seat, action folded to Aussie Tim Marsters on the button. He raised to 3,600. The small blind called and the big blind folded before Watanabe and Cristian also called. The flop came down 
and action checked to Cristian. He fired 6,400 and Marsters folded, claiming "a very bad flop." The small blind then folded and Watanabe followed him into the muck.
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Action folded to the player in the hijack seat and he raised to 3,500. Adolfo Vaeza made the call from the button and the flop came down 
. The hijack quickly checked and Vaeza snap-checked behind.
The turn was the 
and two very, very quick checks came from both players before the dealer burned and placed the out on the river. Both players snap-checked again.
The hijack seat showed the and then Vaeza rolled over the 
to have him out-kicked. Vaeza won the pot and improved to just over 100,000 in chips.
With the board reading 
, Bolivar Palacios found himself with a decision after an opponent check-raised all in for about 30,000, a good portion of Palacios' remaining stack.
After a few moments, Palacios did in fact call. His opponent tabled , trailing the 
of Palacios. The river secured the elimination for Palacios, closing in on the six-figure mark now.
