Marcelo Lopes raised to 3,000 in the hijack and Erick Marasco defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♠7♣2♥ and Marasco checked to Lopes who continued with a bet of 3,000. Marasco check-raised to 7,500 and Lopes just called.
The turn brought the 9♦ and Marasco led out with a bet of 8,000. Lopes still tagged along and the 6♣ hit the river. Marasco fired out another bet of 22,000 and Lopes jammed all in for 86,300. Marasco asked for a count and burned through a time bank before folding the 5♠. Lopes complied and showed one card, the 10♥ good for a bigger straight.

It only took a couple of preflop raises for three players to get all of their chips in the middle. Andrea Quadros was the shortest stack in the small blind with 19,000 and Feliks Saakyan was next with 33,000 in the big blind. Hygor Outor had the largest stack in the cutoff and called to put both players at risk.
Andrea Quadros: 9♠8♠
Feliks Saakyan: A♣4♣
Hygor Outor: 6♥6♣
The flop came K♦9♦6♦ to give Outor a set of sixes and a commanding position. Quadros turned in her chair to exit the tournament area only to have the 5♥ and 7♣ runout give her a straight. Another player at the table pointed out the outcome and Quadros was thrilled to still be in the tournament.

German Morte opened to 3,000 in early position and William Pinheiro three-bet to 9,500 from the cutoff. Erick Marasco flat-called on the button and the rest of the table folded.
The flop came Q♠10♥6♣ and Pinheiro continued with a bet of 12,000. Marasco called and the 3♥ landed on the turn. Pinheiro threw in another bet of 18,500 but Marasco continued to call.
The river was the J♣ and Ponheiro put out a feeler bet of 16,000. Marasco took advantage by pushing all in for 74,000. Pinheiro thought for a minute but decided to send his cards to the muck.

The field has quickly dwindled down to just two tabled with one player blinding out for well over two hours now. Their stack has decreased to just 16,000 and will be eliminated in just a few more orbits. Leading the way is Erick Marasco who has continuously stacked chips throughout the day.
