They're right down to nine -- only one elimination clear of the official final table here on the LAPT Peru Grand Final. Here's the tale of the last four knockouts along side another intriguing hand from the last hour.
Soon after Level 25 got started (15,000/30,000/4,000), Carlos Henrique da Rocha pushed all in from the small blind for last 323,000 over a Luis Perez button-raise and Perez called. Da Rocha had K♦2♠ and Perez K♠Q♠, and five cards later -- 7♦5♦K♥T♠3♥ -- the Brazilian was out in 13th.
Gilmar Gallego of Peru led earlier within the afternoon, but after falling back a little bit found himself all in with A♦7♥ versus Jakub Kyrian's A♣Q♦, and failing to enhance was eliminated in 12th.
Meanwhile at the feature table Oscar Alache continued to dominate, picking up a large pot from Luis Perez without the pair even attending to the flop.
Following an Alache open from the hijack seat, Perez three-bet to 145,000, Alache made it 273,000 to go, Perez reraised again to 460,000, then Alache six-bet to 910,000.
Perez had but 650,000 left behind, so calling the last raise would take most of his stack. Alache sat quietly, his shirt pulled up over his mouth as he peered over at Perez riffling and thinking. After a few minutes Perez rechecked his cards, raising his eyebrows on the sight of them as though to mention "TAKE A LOOK AT what you could have us into."
A few more minutes passed, and finally the clock was called. Finally Perez folded, showing his J♦J♥ as he did. With that hand Alache moved up over 2.3 million.
They continued into Level 26 (20,000/40,000/5,000), and after some time Daniel Campodonico opened for 90,000 from the hijack, Ariel Celestino shoved for nearly 770,000 from the massive blind, and Campodonico called.
Celestino: A♦Q♦Campodonico: 9♦9♣
The board ran out 5♠6♣4♥3♦K♦, and Celestino was done in 11th.
Shortly after that one, Gerardo Godinez -- another player who'd flirted with the chip lead earlier today -- sent his short stack into the center with A♠5♦ to battle versus Marcos Exterkotter's 9♠9♥.
The 8♠K♠6♠ flop provided Godinez a flush draw that was still live after Exterkotter made a suite at the 9♣ turn. However the river was the 2♣ and they are right down to nine.
They've redrawn for the non-quite-final final table. Listed here are counts with one elimination left to head today:
Oscar Alache -- 2,268,000Marcel Exterkotter -- 2,045,000Daniel Campodonico -- 1,996,000Jakub Kyrian -- 1,885,000Carlos Sobenes -- 1,577,000Jerson Backmann -- 1,358,000Jose Torre -- 1,200,000Luis Perez -- 665,000Ryan Deroo -- 468,000
