Cabrera raised from the button to 170,000 and was three-bet by Barbero from the big blind to 400,000. Cabrera flat called. Barbero fired 420,000 at the 
flop and Cabrera quickly moved all-in over the top for 1.3m. Barbero passed and the crowd went wild (again).
It's a huge chip swing for Cabrera.
The first few hands back have seen the players take it in turns to raise and take the blinds
Three players are left battling it out for the $250,000 first place prize. Barbero is looking to cement his place in LAPT history as the first player to win two titles (back to back).
Level: 28
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 10,000
Barrows raised from the button and was called by both Barbero and Cabrera but it was only the latter that stayed on beyond Barrows' 175,000 continuation bet on the 
flop. No action on the turn. Cabrera then led from the big blind for (what sounded like) 200,000 and Barrows passed.
It's a 20-minute break.
Ismael Cádiz was into shoving mode after losing that last pot and that's exactly what he did from the button. The amount was 490,000 and after a count Jose Barbero made the call from the BB. Showdown:
Cádiz: 
Barbero: 
The board ran 
.
Cádiz failed to improve and he exited the stage to generous applause. Three handed play will begin now.
Erick Cabrera more than doubled up through neighbor Ismael Cádiz to rapturous cheers from the enthusiastic Peruvian crowd. He opened from UTG to 160,000 and was called by Cádiz on the button and Jose Barbero in the big blind.
On the 
flop Barbero moved out of the way as Cabera and Cádiz got all their chips in the middle. Cádiz opened 
for top two-pair and Cabrera revelaed 
for top pair and flush draw.
The crowd were going mental for a heart but it failed to come on the 
turn. Their calls were answered though as the river came 
. The two swap places as the short stack now.
This is like a World Cup match at the moment. My ears are actually ringing from the cheering and shouting. Jose Barbero raised to 120,000 from the button and was shoved on for 740,000 by Cabrera. Barbero called.
Barbero: 
Cabrera: 
There are at least fifty Peruvians chanting and they're making a lot of noise. PERU! PERU! PERU! PERU!
The board ran out 
and the crowd were chanting for a blank but their will alone wasn't enough. A binked on the river to split the pot.
Ismael Cádiz opened the pot to 100,000 from the button but snap-folded to Jose Barbero's all-in push from the BB.
Jose 'Nacho' Barbero's comeback is gathering pace while Erick Cabrera's huge stack is dwindling. Nacho raised from the small blind and was called by Cabrera in the big. They checked through to the turn where Nacho led for 120,000 and was called by Cabrera. Nacho bet another 240,000 on the 
river and was called by Cabrera. Nacho showed 
and Cabrera 
. Barbero has taken some large chunks out of Cabrera.
