Osvaldo Silvio Resquin - 6th Place
Osvaldo Silvio Resquin - 6th Place

Pablo Joaquin Melogno has easily been the most aggressive player at the table since the break, raising eight hands in the last two orbits. That aggression has paid off as he just eliminated Osvaldo Silvio Resquin.

Melogno raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Resquin shoved for 404,000 from the big blind. After about 60 seconds thinking it through, Melogno called and was thrilled to see Resquin table {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Melogno showed {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and scored the knockout when the board ran out {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

For his sixth-place showing, Osvaldo Silvio Resquin earned $35,970.

An Angel on His Shoulder

Angel Guillen scores another dramatic double
Angel Guillen scores another dramatic double

Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen has been relatively card dead for a majority of the day. In the first pot that we've seen him active, action folded around to his small blind and he moved all in for roughly 250,000. Ivan Luca called from the big blind and the hands were tabled:

Guillen: {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Luca: {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The flop brought {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Guillen was still in the lead. The turn spelled heartbreak for Guillen, however, coming the {7-Diamonds} and pairing Luca. The room gasped and Guillen's head dropped. With one cards to come, Guillen was looking for one of the three remaining tens or the four remaining nines to make a straight.

The dealer rapped the table and burned a card. She grabbed the top card on the deck and flipped it over.

The {10-Clubs}!

Guillen paired his ten and the room erupted into cheers and applause. This double up keeps up hope for all those adorned with a red spade logo.

Guido Ruffini Eliminated in 8th Place ($20,080)

Guido Ruffini - 8th Place
Guido Ruffini - 8th Place

Ivan Luca opened to 51,000 and was called by Francisco Baruffi Neto. Guido Ruffini pushed out a three-bet from the cutoff, making it 132,000 total. Action folded back to Luca who thought for over three minutes. The clock was called on Luca and after a full sixty seconds he still had not reached a decision and his hand was forced into the muck. Baruffi Neto, on the other hand, quickly decided to call.

The flop brought the {Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Baruffi Neto checked. Ruffini continued out for 136,000 and Baruffi Neto called. The turn paired the board, bringing the {10-Diamonds} and Baruffi Neto checked for a second time. Ruffini shoved out 200,000 and Baruffi Neto announced all in. Ruffini quickly called, flipping up {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} only to find he was behind the turned trips of Baruffi Neto who held {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The {8-Hearts} river was of no help to Ruffini and he was sent packing.

Both checked to see the {J-Clubs} turn where Dobrovolskiy moved all in for 236,000.

The river fell the {2-Diamonds} for Dobrovolskiy to secure the double with his flush.
