Wesley Wiemes has just been put out of his short-stacked misery, and his exit leaves Fatima Moreira de Melo as the lone Dutch left in the field.
With our thanks to Carlos Monti once again, we give you another round of shots from the tournament room.
Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu was back at it again, this time on the 
flop after he set his opponent all in. The player tanked for a bit, had the clock called on him by another player at the table and then called. He held the 
and Negreanu the 
.
"I've got 15 outs," Negreanu said. "Any heart, queen or eight."
The turn made things quick and easy as the 
was dealt to give Negreanu an unbeatable straight to the king. The river completed the board with the 
. Negreanu raked in the pot after having his opponent covered and moved to 63,000 in chips.
On the first hand back from the break, Fatima Moreira de Melo put her last ~4,500 into the middle preflop with pocket aces. The gentleman two to her left looked her up with ace-king, and he managed to flop a gutterball on the 
. De Melo's aces ended up holding strong on the turn and river, though, and she's worked her way back up to about 9,000.
A couple tables over, her fellow Dutchman, Wesley Wiemes was about to be all in himself. He had just 300 lonely chips left when he stuck them in from late position, and three other opponents in the pot gave him the chance at a quadruple up. The board ran out 
with only one bet-call on the turn.
At showdown, the two other players still in the hand showed down 
and , respectively, and Wiemes only needed to have a pair. He hadn't looked yet, though, and he and the rest of the table got to see his hole cards together: 
.
"Opa!" he yelled in celebration, sitting back down to try and parlay that pot into a big comeback.

We've got a pair of Netherlanders with us here in Brazil this week, though they're both finding the going a little tough on Day 1.

: 100/200, 25 ante
As you can see from our last chip update, it's been a good level for Leo Fernandez. Just a moment ago, our colleague stopped by to ask Fernandez how the growth spurt had happened.
Fernandez was the preflop raiser in what turned out to be a big pot, and he and the lady at the table called a three-bet from another gentleman. The flop came , and it proved to be quite the cooler. Fernandez had pocket queens. The lady? Pocket jacks.
Set over set earned Fernandez the knockout and a big chip increase, and he's the big stack on our board right now.
Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu had an opponent all in on the 
board with the 
. His at-risk opponent held the 
and was looking for a king or an eight on the river to win the hand and stay alive.
The river was the 
and that meant Negreanu's sevens-full-of-eights full house was the winner. He knocked his opponent to the rail and moved to nearly 50,000 in chips.
"I did the sevens trick again," Negreanu commented after the hand with a smile.
