Menendez Moves to Second in Chips

Juan Martin Abal made a preflop raise and 2011 LAPT Colombia Main Event champion Julian Menendez three-bet enough to put Abal all in. Abal called and the hands were turned over.

Menendez: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Abal: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Menendez's pocket eights were able to hold. Menendez was able to reduce the field by one more player and make his stack the second biggest in the room.
