We rolled up on a hand over at Odilon Machuca's table as he was squaring off against Alex Brenes in a pot with 8,000 in the middle. The pot wouldn't get any bigger as both players checked down every street on the 
. Machuca rolled over 
for ace high, which was good enough to win the pot.
Not long after, Machuca must have hit another big hand as his chip stack has reached the 175K mark!

Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari was the last Team PokerStars Pro standing, but any hope of him capturing an LAPT title here is Chile recently came to an end. First he lost a monster pot after hitting an ace with 
only to have his opponent hit a runner-runner flush with .
A short time later, action folded to Akkari on the button and he moved all in for around 12,000, which the player in the big blind called.

The 
flop gave Akkari a pair and a straight draw, but he was behind his opponent's flopped pair of jacks. Neither the turn nor 
river were what Akkari needed, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

We were kindly informed about the details of Team PokerStars Pro Humberto Brenes' elimination.
Brenes defended his big blind when the button raised and upon seeing a 
flop, Brenes committed the rest of his stack with 
. His opponent called with 
and while the turn changed nothing, the 
completed the opponent's straight draw and ended Brenes' tournament.
A player in middle position opened for 2,000 and was met with an all-in three-bet to 3,000 by the player on the button. When action was on Thiago "XTheDecanoX" Nishijima in the big blind, he thought for a moment before putting out a four-bet to 5,200. The MP player called and it was off to the 
flop.
Nishijima was first to act and slid out a bet of 5,000, which inspired the MP player to fold.
Showdown
| Nishijima |  |
| Button |  |
It was a sweet flop for Nishijima, who held middle set, and the button was in big trouble. The 
turn did give him a gut-shot straight draw to a jack, but it was not meant to be as the 
river gave Nishijima quads!
