The Ladies Like Flavio

Flavio Reis raised to 650 from late position and was called by the button and big blind. The latter checked the {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} flop, opening the foor for Reis to continuation-bet 1,100. The button instantly put in a raise to 3,000, the small blind folded, and after thinking for about ten seconds, Reis grabbed a stack of chips and spiked it in the pot. The button shrugged and call off for around 6,000 more.

Showdown

Reis{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Button{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Reis had his opponents on the ropes with an overpair and never let him recover as the {3-Hearts} turn and {2-Hearts} river were blanks. Reis eliminated his opponent while chipping up to 28,000.

Day 1b Entrants

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We've been informed that 367 players have taken part in the Day 1b festivities.

Combined with the 284 Day 1a entrants, the 651-player field eclipsed last year's total of 621. It is the second largest LAPT in history, only behind Season 4's LAPT Colombia which drew 681 players.

Nacho, Nacho Man, I Want to Be a Nacho Man

With four players in the pot and a board reading {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, the small blind and an early-position player checked to Team PokerStars Pro (Argentina) Nacho Barbero and he bet 700. The next player to act was on the button and opted for a raise to 2,100. The small blind and EP player both folded, and Barbero followed suit after contemplating it for a moment.

It wasn't an overly exciting hand, but a good excuse for us to tell you that the two-time LAPT winner is sitting with 25K.

Aces for Celestino

Just before the last break, there was 3,300 in the pot and a board reading {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} when Ariel Celestino checked to an unknown player, who bet 2,800. Celestino snap-called and waited for his opponent to show his cards, but it didn't come. Knowing he was good, Celestino showed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} for a set of aces, which was good enough to bring his stack up to 19,000.

Bad Timing For Araujo

Picking up the action on a {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, three players checked to see the {10-Diamonds} turn. The player in the small blind bet 675 and was met with a call from Fernando Araujo (seventh place LAPT Punta del Este - Season 4) in the big blind and a player in middle position.

The {2-Hearts} river didn't change much and the small blind bet 2,225. Araujo popped it to 6,600, forcing a quick fold from the middle-position player. However, the small blind came back over top for an additional 14,000 or so and Araujo quickly mucked his hand.

Csome Getting Tricky

Picking up the action on a {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} board, Leandro Csome bet 400 from the big blind. His opponent in middle position called to see the {10-Clubs} river. Csome checked, his opponent did the same, and Csome tabled {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the nut flush.

His opponent flashed {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} as Csome collected the pot.
