Action folded to Manuel Antonio Delgado Cordero on the cutoff, who opened the pot before Juan Gómez moved all-in for his last five big blinds. Delgado Cordero made the call, and the players tabled their hands.
Juan Gómez: J♠9♠
Manuel Antonio Delgado Cordero: A♣10♦
The flop came 4♦7♥4♣, offering no help to Gómez, who remained behind and in need of a jack or a nine. The 7♣ turn changed nothing, and the A♠ river only improved Delgado Cordero, sealing Gómez's elimination in 14th place.
In a blind-versus-blind confrontation, Bruno David Simoes opened to 250,000 from the small blind and Cristiano Ruiu responded by moving all-in for just over 950,000. Simoes made the call without hesitation, putting Ruiu at risk.
Cristiano Ruiu: 9♠9♥
Bruno David Simoes: A♠6♣
Ruiu held the advantage preflop, but Simoes had live overcard outs. The flop came J♣J♠2♥, keeping Ruiu ahead. The 4♣ turn and 7♥ river failed to improve either player, allowing Ruiu's pocket nines to hold up.
Despite starting the hand as the underdog, Ruiu secured the double-up while Simoes took a hit to his stack.

Manuel Antonio Delgado Cordero: 4♠4♣
The flop came 8♥Q♣7♥, keeping Peixoto's hopes alive with several outs. However, the turn 4♥ gave Delgado Cordero a set and left Peixoto drawing dead. The meaningless 9♦ river completed the board, and Peixoto was eliminated in 12th place while the chip leader added yet another pot to his towering stack.
