Lisandro Gallo limps under the gun and Alexandre Gomes completes in the small blind. Jose Miguel Espinar checks his option and the flop comes Q T 3. Gomes bets out $36,000 and Espinar folds out, but Gallo raises to $75,000. Gomes mulls it over before making the call and checking dark heading for the turn, which comes the 2. Gallo bets out $85,000 and Gomes folds. Gallo takes the pot, flashing a queen as he does so.

We're now on a 15-minute break.

Lisandro Gallo raises to $30,000 out of the small blind and Gylbert Drolet makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes K 4 2 and Gallo checks to Drolet, who bets $45,000. Gallo makes the call and the turn is the 9. Gallo checks again to Drolet, who makes it $70,000 to go. Again Gallo calls and after 6 on the river, both players check. Gallo shows A T for ace-high and takes the pot.

Alex Brenes raises to $34,000 from the button and Jose Miguel Espinar makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes A 5 2 and Espinar checks to Brenes, who bets out $60,000. Espinar raises to $160,000 and after some thought, Brenes lays it down. Espinar takes the pot.

We've reached the end of Level 19 and action continues into Level 20 without benefit of a pause.

Here are the current chip counts for the remaining five players:

Jose Miguel Espinar	$1,145,000
Alexandre Gomes	$800,000
Gylbert Drolet	$600,000

Short-stacked Sidney Chreem open-shoves all-in for his last $50,000 and Lisandro Gallo makes the call, turning up a pocket pair of sevens. Chreem is racing with Q 9 and will need to improve to survive. The flop comes T T 8, giving Chreem the gut-shot. The turn, however, is the 6 and the river the 3 and Chreem whiffs. He's out in sixth place and takes $34,045 from the prize pool.

Gylbert Drolet raises to $29,000 from under the gun and Alexandre Gomes makes the call on the button. The flop comes Q 8 7 and Drolet bets out $45,000. Gomes raises to $160,000 and after some negotiation, Drolet lays it down. Gomes shows J-T as he rakes the pot.

Lisandro Gallo raises to $30,000 and the action folds around to Alexandre Gomes, who makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes T T 5 and both players check. The turn is the K and Gomes bets out $50,000. Gallo folds and Gomes takes the pot.

Juan Jose Perez raises to $35,000 and Jose Miguel Espinar reraises to $92,000 on the button. Action folds back around to Perez, who moves all-in for $195,000 total. Espinar makes an instant call and turns up A J, only to find himself well behind Perez's A A.

The flop comes Q T 2, giving Espinar the gut-shot straight draw, and the A on the turn gives Perez top set and eliminates Espinar's runner-runner outs. The river is the dagger K and Espinar spikes the broadway straight in dramatic fashion, brutally eliminating Juan Jose Perez in seventh place for a $25,535 consolation prize.

On the third hand at the final table, Jose Miguel Espinar raises to $26,000 and Paulo Ribeiro makes it $52,000 to go. Action folds back to Espinar, who makes the call, and the flop comes K K 6. Espinar checks to Ribeiro, who bets $100,000 and is raised all-in.

Ribeiro instantly calls off his last $226,000 and turns up a pocket pair of jacks, only to find himself well behind Espinar's K Q. The turn is the Q and Ribeiro is drawing dead, and the K on the river adds insult to injury by giving Espinar quads.

Ribeiro is eliminated in eighth place. He wins $17,025 for his efforts.
