Neto Pushes Opponents Out

Pablo Melogno raised to 13,000 from under the gun and received calls from both Alberto Cerutti and Francisco Neto.

The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and Melogno bet 13,000. Cerutti called and Neto pondered for a moment before pushing out 31,000 total. Both players folded and Neto took down the pot.

Takeo Takes Out Zogbi

Takeo Nakati raised to 17,000 from the button and found Rubens Zogbi move all in for 38,000 from the small blind. Nakati called and showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. He was racing with Zogbi's {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Zogbi was ahead when the flop came {4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} but fell behind when the {A-Spades} peeled off on the turn. The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Zogbi was sent to the rail.

Fonseca Busts Nunez

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We missed the action of the hand, but can report that Renato Nunez was all in for about 105,000 holding {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} of Marcelo Ramos Da Fonseca.

The board came {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Fonseca's ace-king high was enough to take down the pot and send Nunez home. Fonseca is now sitting on a stack of 330,000.

Dobrovolskiy Doubles Up

Action folded around to Vladimir Dobrovolskiy in the small blind who moved his short stack all in. Adriano Romeu called from the big blind.

Dobrovolskiy: {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Romeu: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Dobrovolskiy took the lead, pairing his queen on a {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} flop. Romeu was in need of an ace to take the lead, but it did not come on the {K-Clubs} turn or the {Q-Hearts} river. Dobrovolskiy has been short stacked for quite some time but has been finding ways to keep surviving through the field.

Baduy Busts Schejtman

Fabio Baduy moved all in for 51,500 and was called by Martín Schejtman from the big blind. Schejtman only had 45,000 behind so it was his tournament life that was at risk.

Schejtman: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Baduy: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Baduy grabbed a strong lead, flopping a set with the {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. The {k-Hearts} and {7-Spades} were of no help to Schejtman and he was sent packing.

Aces Take Out Andrade

Luiz Filipe Andrade - Eliminated
Luiz Filipe Andrade - Eliminated

Leandro Rubinsztain opened the action with a raise to 11,500. Luiz Filipe Andrade three-bet to 27,500 from the cutoff and the two players found themselves facing a four-bet from Pablo Melogno who made it 48,500 to go.

Rubinsztain got out of the way and Andrade replied by five-betting all in. Melogno snap called and tabled his {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Andrade was disappointed to find himself in this situation, turning over {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

The board fell {Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Andrade swiftly made his way out of the tournament room.
