Piazza Doubles Through Viola

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.

Garcia Doubles Through Perez

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

Alejandro Garcia was in the small blind and got all the chips in the middle before the flop against Juan Perez, who was in early position and had the larger of the two stacks.

Garcia: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Perez: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Garcia had the preflop advantage with the better pocket pair and Perez needed help from the deck to send Garcia to the cage. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs} which changed nothing and Garcia took the pot to double up.

Martinez Doubles Through Piazza

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

Edinson Martinez shoved from early position for his last 68,000 and Roberto Piazza called from the big blind to put him at risk.

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. The {4-Clubs} turn changed nothing, but the {K-Spades} on the river gave Martinez a pair of kings, so he took the pot to double up.

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.

Action folded around where Jose Moure moved all in from the cutoff for his last 32,000 chips. Hector Barua called on the button and everyone else folded.

Moure was holding {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} while Barua was holding {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The board rolled out {6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} which was clean for Barua, eliminating Moure from the tournament.

Roberly Felicio opened from the cutoff with a raise to 18,000 and Mathias Duarte three-bet shoved from the button for 89,000. Felicio called to put Duarte at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Duarte: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
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.

Belluscio Assumes the Chip Lead In a Massive Pot

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
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.
