Small One for Vardanega

With the action on Dayan Vardanega in the small blind, he made it 110,000 to go with Matthias Habernig defending his big blind.

Vardanega fired out 130,000 on the {Q-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop with Habernig making the call as the {7-Clubs} landed on the turn.

A bet of 210,000 from Vardanega would be enough to prompt a fold from Habernig.

Habernig Calls Flop, Fires River

On the flop of {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Matthias Habernig checked to Alexandre Richard Martins. He fired a bet of 150,000. Habernig made the call and that brought the {J-Hearts} on the turn.

Matthias checked fourth street and Martins checked behind. The river completed the board with the {A-Clubs} and Matthias fired out 300,000, double what his opponent had bet on the flop. Martins thought for a minute and then folded his hand, giving Habernig another pot and more chips.

Slow Times

Since returning from play, nearly fifteen hands have been dealt.

Depending on how you view the situation . . . unfortunately the play of the final three have been quite tight since losing Miguel Velasco.

Either a single preflop raise or a walk in the big blind has been the norm for these three players as one of them hope to become the LAPT Florianopolis Champion!

Miguel Velasco Eliminated in 4th Place ($64,676)

Miguel Velasco - 4th Place
Miguel Velasco - 4th Place

Matthias Habernig opened to 105,000 only to have Miguel Velasco move all in for roughly 500,000. Habernig made the call, and we were off to yet another showdown.

Habernig: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Velasco: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The flop of {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} changed little, but when the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Velasco picked up an additional out with a fourth trey.

Unfortunately for Velasco, the {10-Spades} landed on the river to send him to the rail in 4th place for a $64,676 payday, as Habernig soars to 4,850,000 in chips.

Robson Vinicious Kozan Eliminated in 5th Place ($46,246)

Robson Vinicious Kozan - 5th Place
Robson Vinicious Kozan - 5th Place

Alexandre Richard Martins opened to 115,000 only to have Robson Vinicious Kozan move all in for 275,000. Martins made the call to put Kozan at risk.

Martins: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Kozan: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Spades} kept Kozan in the lead, but left Martins with several backdoor draws.

"Cinco!" screamed Martins as the dealer dropped the {5-Diamonds} on the turn to thrust the Brazilian into the lead as Kozan would now be the one needing to catch his two-outer.

Unfortunately only the {Q-Diamonds} would fall on the river to send Kozan to the rail in 5th place for a $46,246 payday.
