Day 2 Almost Ready To Go
Welcome to Day 2 of PokerNews' coverage of the PokerStars.net LAPT Chile. The Enjoy Casino & Resort in Vina del Mar, Chile is host to the opening event of Season 5 and it has not disappointed.
Day 1a drew 284 players and combined with 367 on Day 1b, the total field of 651 eclipsed last year's total of 621 to create the second largest LAPT event in the tour's history. Following ten levels of play, Joao Lopes commands the biggest stack in the room of the 188 players remaining as the only player above the 200k mark with 207,700.
The plan today is to play ten levels or until 24 players remain, whichever comes first. Keep it here throughout the day for updates on all of the action as it takes place. Play kicks off at noon local time, about 35 minutes from now, so we'll see you at the top of the hour.

Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
A short presentation was given before the tournament staff kicked off Day 2. The cards are in the air and action underway here in Chile.
With 188 players remaining, we need to lose 84 of them before the money. It may take several levels, but we're going to reach the money sooner than later.
Going Down to Eight
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The tournament staff has just announced that the remaining tables will go from nine handed to eight.
Altieri Takes From Horno With Quads
Picking up the action on the river of a 
board with about 14,000 in the middle, Sebastian Altieri bet 11,000. Daniela Horno popped it to 34,000, but was faced with a decision after Altieri came over the top with a re-raise to 68,000.
Horno spent about 30 seconds in the tank before folding and was no doubt relieved to see Altieri show her 
for the absolute nuts.

Horno Gets Some Back

, it went check-check to Horno, who bet 6,500.
The big blind quickly folded, as did Altieri, who showed 
. Horno obliged by showing her cards . . .

Altieri vs. Horno: Round 3
We've been trying to catch some other hands, but it seems Sebastian Altieri and Daniela Horno can't get enough action against one another. In a recent hand, action folded to Altieri in the cutoff and he opened for 3,600. Horno is to his direct left and she made the call, which inspired the rest of the field to get out of the way.
When the flop fell 
, Altieri bet 6,800, Horno called, and then both players checked the turn. Altieri proceeded to check-call a bet of 9,000 on the 
river, only to muck when Horno rolled over 
for a flush.

Rough Start For Barrientos
Day 1a chip leader Waldermar Barrientos has had a tough time going during the first level on Day 2.
Most recently we caught him in a hand where after a 
, there was a check and a bet of 5,100 in front of Barrientos. He put in a raise to 12,100, but was met with a check-raise shove for 35,500. The bettor ducked out of the way, as did a seemingly frustrated Barrientos.

Pereira Departs
After the player in the hijack opened to 3,400, Silvana Pereira called from the small blind. The big blind came along, too, and an 
flop followed.
Pereira announced she was all in (which was for about 23,000), but the big blind isolated the pot with an all in of his own. Pereira tabled 
, but the big blind had her beat with 
. The turn and 
river were no help to Pereira, ending her Main Event towards the end of Level 11.
