After that slow begin to the overall day, we have seen three eliminations over the past hour, suddenly trimming remaining field within the LAPT Peru Main Event final table to 5 players.
Level 29 (40,000/80,000/10,000) started so much like Level 28 had ended, with Daniel Campodonico again winning a pot with a preflop shove, this time after three-betting Carlos Sobones. At the very next hand Sobenes open-pushed for 1,005,000 from under the gun, winning the blinds and antes.
About 20 minutes later the table's short stack Jose Torre open-raised all in for 565,000 from under the gun, and one at a time all let their hands go. A hand later Sobenes shoved for 1,015,000 from early position, getting a single caller in Jerson Backmann playing from the cutoff.
Backmann had K♥K♣ while Sobenes showed 4♥4♠. The board came T♦8♦J♠, then 7♦, then T♣, and the Peruvian shook hands and shared hugs throughout before exiting in eighth place.
That hand carried Backmann up over 5.2 million, nearly 3 million sooner than Luis Perez in second position with Oscar Alache not far behind in third.
An interesting hand followed that saw Backmann raise from early position and Alache call from a seat over, then Alache call bets from the leader after both the 5♦5♣2♦ flop and 4♥ turn.
The river then brought the 9♥ and a 1 million-chip bet from Backmann (about two-thirds the pot), and Alache took five full minutes before letting his hand go. Backmann took the following hand off of Alache to boot to transport up over 6 million while the latter was knocked back to about 1.2 million.
Campodonico then won another preflop all-in without being contested, and shortly after that it was a short-stacked Jakub Kyrian opening with a raise, Backmann reraising to one million from a seat over, then when it folded back Kyrian called with the 480,000 he had left.
Kyrian had A♥3♠ and needed help against Backmann's J♠J♣. However the J♥5♠5♦ flop all but ended any chances for Kyrian, giving Backmann an entire house. The K♦ turn sealed it, and Kyrian headed to the cashier's desk to assemble his prize for finishing seventh.
Just one hand later Campodonico was open-pushing again from the cutoff, and Jose Torre called all in for 425,000 from the button. Torre had the brink with A♣K♥ against Campodonico's K♠Q♠, however the flop fell 9♦Q♣5♦ to pair the latter's queen and earn some shouts from the crowd.
The turn was the 5♥ and river the K♦, and Torre hit the rail in sixth.
With five left Backmann still enjoys a large lead. Listed here are the counts as Level 29 edges near its conclusion:
Jerson Backmann (Mexico) -- 6,980,000Luis Perez (Venezuela) -- 1,990,000Daniel Campodonico (Uruguay) -- 1,860,000Marcos Exterkotter (Brazil) -- 1,690,000Oscar Alache (Chile) -- 1,245,000
