Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Roberto Piazza and Andres Viola got all the chips in the middle preflop. Viola had Piazza covered by a fair margin.

Viola: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Piazza: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Piazza was ahead with the larger of the two pocket pairs, but Viola took the lead when the flop fell {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. However, Piazza regained the advantage when the {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The {7-Spades} river changed nothing and Piazza took the pot to double up.

Martinez Doubles Through Piazza

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Martinez: {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Piazza: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Piazza had the preflop advantage and Martinez needed help from the deck in order to survive. The flop came {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, which kept Piazza ahead but gave Martinez some additional outs in the form of an open-ended straight draw.

Hugo Marcelo Eliminated in 22nd Place ($3,720)

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Hugo Marcelo
Hugo Marcelo

Hugo Marcelo was in the small blind and heads-up against Renan Toniolo on a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}. There were already about 20,000 chips in the pot and Marcelo checked to Toniolo who bet 10,000. Marcelo check-raised to 30,000 and the rest of the chips quickly went in the middle in a flurry of activity.

Marcelo: {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Toniolo: {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Marcelo had flopped middle pair and an open-ended straight draw but was up against the Toniolo's flopped nut straight. The {8-Spades} turn and {K-Diamonds} river were no help to Marcelo and Toniolo took the pot to end Marcelo's run in this event.

Felicio: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Duarte had the preflop advantage with the better ace, but Felicio caught up when the flop fell {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. The {2-Diamonds} turn and {A-Clubs} river failed to sufficiently improve Duarte and Felicio took the pot to end Duarte's run in this event.

Julio Belluscio
Julio Belluscio

Catching the action on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} Julio Belluscio checked over to Renan Toniolo who put out a bet of 38,000. Belluscio then decided to check-raise, making it 80,000 to go. Toniolo thought it over then called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Belluscio fired again, betting 73,000. Toniolo called once more.

The {3-Diamonds} on the river completed a flush draw. Belluscio slowed down and checked. Toniolo thought for a long time and then checked behind. Belluscio showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for two pair and Toniolo mucked his hand. That allowed Belluscio to collect the almost 400,000 chip pot and move into the chip lead.
