The action folded to Abel Gongora in the small blind who shoved all in and Miguel Mora quickly called off his stack of 2,400,000 in the big blind.

Miguel Mora: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Abel Gongora: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Gongora held his dominating lead thus far. The {8-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing and the {q-Spades} on the river meant Gongora claimed another victim in Mora.

Abel Gongora continued to use his big stack to apply pressure to his opponent and once again moved all in from the cutoff. Jose Puente finally stuck in the last of his 1,050,000 chips from the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Jose Puente: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Abel Gongora: {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} to give Gongora the lead with a pair of fives. The {j-Hearts} on the turn and the {k-Spades} on the river were no help to Puente who was ousted in sixth place.

First Three Go to Gongora

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The first three pots since returning from the break have all gone the way of Abel Gongora. He has been using his big stack to apply some ICM pressure to the smaller stacks by shoving all in with nearly any two cards. Jose Puente will have to make the first move as he is down to just five big blinds.

Carreras Gets a Big Double

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Bernat Carreras opened to 250,000 in early position with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Paulo Castelo re-raised to 590,000 in the big blind with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Carreras used a time bank before sliding out a four-bet to 1,050,000. Castelo eventually five-bet shoved all in and Carreras snap-called his stack of 3,900,000.

The cards were on their backs and the flop of {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} left Carreras in a commanding position. The {q-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing and the {3-Spades} on the river ensured Carreras of a big double-up.
