They've played through another hour at the LAPT Chile Main Event, during which the field reduced from 15 to 11. Claudio Schafer of Chile remains the pace-setter at the moment, having maintained his stack of 1.1 million during the last level.
An American living and playing online in Costa Rica, Tyler Noyes picked up a first five-figure live score today. In his final hand, the man from Massachusetts committed his last 220,000 with A♥T♥ versus Rodrigo Quezada's J♠J♣, and with no improvement fell in 15th ($10,940).
Just as Noyes was going out, Arturo Longton of Chile ran K♠Q♦ into Claudio Schafer's A♦K♠ to lose the last of his short stack and finish 14th ($10,940).
A little later Jonathan Markovits saw his LAPT Chile Main Event run end after his A♠7♦ failed him against Fabian Chauriye's Q♠Q♦.
Hailing from Ecuador, Markovits has an LAPT final table to his credit, having finished fifth in the Grand Final at Sao Paulo in Season 4. Here his end came a bit shy of that mark after he was knocked out in 13th ($12,400).
Then just before the level ended and the day's second break began, Juan Grinspun of Chile took A♣9♥ and a short stack up against Schafer's pair of nines, and five cards later was out in 12th ($12,400).
Among the final 11 still are two former LAPT Main Event winners -- LAPT7 Peru Grand Final winner Oscar Alache and Nacho Barbero who won back-to-back LAPTs in Season 4.
Those two are sitting side-by-side at the feature table at present, where Alache has about 780,000 and Barbero 480,000. Watch them on LAPT Live.
