Jonathan Markovits raised to 29,000 from middle position and Carlos Ibarra flat-called from the hijack seat. On the button, Juan Gonzalez reraised all in for 200,000. Everyone folded and Gonzalez won the pot.
Caio Pimenta raised to 27,000 from early position, and Ioannis Beris three-bet shoved from across the table. It was 176,000 total. When it came back around to Pimenta, he spent a long while in the tank before talking himself into the call, and Beris was in good shape to double.
Showdown
Beris: 
Pimenta: 
There was no funny stuff on the 
board, and Beris' two pair earned him the much-needed double. It knocks Pimenta back down around the half-million chip mark.
Ioannis Beris raised to 27,000 to open the pot from middle position, and Daniel Negreanu flatted in the cutoff to go heads up to the flop.
The dealer spread out 
, and Beris continued out with another 36,000. He and Negreanu have been friendly and chatty, and they exchanged a few quick words before the latter made his play.
"I'm just going to go all in," Negreanu said as he pushed some chips across the line.
"That's it?" Beris asked back. "I'm just going to fold." He uncapped his cards and slipped them muckward, and Negreanu has chipped his way up to 830,000 with that pot.
In the history of the PokerStars-sponsored poker tours, no player has ever made it to an LAPT, APPT and EPT final table. Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has the chance to be the first-ever player to accomplish that feat if he can maneuver his way down to the final eight in this event.
At the EPT Vienna in 2010, Negreanu placed fourth out of 578 players for €175,000. Later that year, he took ninth in the APPT Sydney Grand Final for A$36,415. It is of note that the Sydney final table was nine-handed, whereas most APPT, LAPT and EPT final tables are generally eight-handed.
Level: 20
Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Daniel Negreanu opened the pot to 22,000 from the hijack seat, and Caio Pimenta flatted on the button. The two men were heads up, and the dealer rolled out a 
flop. Negreanu check-called a bet of 19,000 from Pimenta, and the 
hit the turn. Check-check.
The river came the 
, and now Negreanu got that betting feeling. He stacked up 57,000 and slid them into the middle, but Pimenta was having none of it. He made a big raise to 185,000, and Negreanu tanked and folded.
We don't expect that's the last time we'll see those two mixed up in a crafty pot.
From the hijack seat, Carlos Ibarra came in with a raise to 27,000, and Martin Santos three-bet to 63,000 from the small blind. Ibarra spent a long while considering, but he eventually surrendered his cards into the muck.
On the next hand, Ibarra tried again with the same opening raise, and this time it got through. When the dealer pushed him the pot, he exposed his 
with a smile.
The net +/- from that exchange? -4,000 chips.

Luis Mata just fell in 17th place at the hands of Carlos Ibarra. Mata was all in preflop with 
off suit against the pocket jacks for Ibarra. A quick and easy exit came for Mata following a board of no help and he was off to the payout desk to collect his R$9,220 payday.
