: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
The remaining 10 players are now on a one-hour dinner break. We'll be back in a bit.
Daniel Negreanu made it 44,000 to go from the cutoff seat, and Felipe Morbiducci defended his big blind to see the flop.
It came 
, and Morbiducci check-called Negreanu's 51,000-chip continuation bet. Negreanu fired another 85,000 on the 
turn, and the river 
completed the board. Now Negreanu checked behind, and he turned up 
. It was good. Morbiducci's cards hit the muck, and Negreanu has regained some ground to climb back to about 650,000.

The tournament may be down to 10 players, but there are still two tables in play. Why? Well here on the PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour, final tables are played eight-handed, as has been the case for all of today's play as well. Once the field is cut to nine, they'll go to one table and then lose one more.
From the hijack seat, Mayu Roca raised to 42,000. Carlos Ibarra called from the small blind and the flop came down 
. Ibarra checked and Roca checked behind.
The turn was the 
and paired the board. Ibarra bet 50,000 and Roca made the call.
The river completed the board with the 
and Ibarra announced that he was all in, an effective bet worth approximately 365,000 as that's what Roca had left in his stack.
Roca tanked and tanked. While he thought, Ibarra got up from his seat, put his sunglasses on and began pacing around. Ibarra eventually say back down and then another minute or so passed. Roca finally made the call, but when he did, no one turned their hand over. The two said some things to each other in Spanish and then Ibarra tabled the 
after about 20 seconds. Roca mucked his hand and Ibarra won the pot.
Without any chips left, Roca was eliminated in 11th place for R$19,100. Now just 10 players remain.

Daniel Negreanu raised to 44,000 on the button and Caio Pimenta reraised all in for 344,000 from the small blind. Daniel Nestola got an exact count from the big blind, then called. Negreanu folded.
Nestola: 
Pimenta: 
The flop came down 
and Nestola's nines held up so far. The 
on the turn left Pimenta needing a non-diamond ace or king on the river to stay alive, but when the 
fell, it was all over.
Pimenta exited in 12th place and earned R$19,100 for his finish. Nestola climbed to over 1.5 million in chips.

Before the flop, Jonathan Markovits and Vincenzo Giannelli mixed it up in a preflop raising war that left the latter all in for just less than 400,000 as he was barely covered by his opponent. The news was good for Giannelli, though; his 
had Markovits' dominated.
Things went south in a hurry for the Tortuga, though. A nine flopped and another nine rivered, and the 
board has put an end to Giannelli's day. It was another valiant run — and it didn't end with an LAPT bubble this time — but he's been sent off in 13th place with a consolation prize of 15,810 Reais.
