10:38pm--Mario Salvagno out in 13th ($15,540)
You might have noticed a trend here. People are saying all-in more than they're saying fold. This time, it was our early Day 2 chip leader Mario Salvagno. He got Ac-Qc all-in pre-flop against Oliver Rowe's pocket aces. The board came Qd-Jd-3s-Kc-8d and Salvagno was gone.

10:34pm--Lisandro Gallo eliminated 14th place ($15,540)
Lisandro Gallo spent most of his day beating up on people, but in the end, he couldn't outrun a pair of eights with his K-J all-in pre-flop. He's out in 14th place for $15,540.

10:27pm--Oscar Hilarro Quijada eliminated in 15th place ($15,540)
Moments after doubling up against Karl Hevoy, Octavio Bernardini put Oscar Hilarro Quijad out of the event, his Qh-Jh beating K-2 all-in preflop. The board ran out Qs-5c-3h-8d-Qd and Quijada was eliminated.

10:20pm--Andre Ventura crippled, doubles -- Magno Aragao loves his lady
Moments ago, Andre Venture got all in with pocket sixes against Waldemar Cogo's queens and was left with barely enough to pay the blinds after failing to suck out. On the next hand, he doubled up against Cogo with Ac-9c against Ah-8d.
On the outer table Magno Aragao got all-in with K-Q versus against Karl Hevoy's black jacks. Aragao paired both his king and queen to double up.
9:57pm--Felipe Ivar eliminated 16th place ($12,760)
Brazil's Felipe Ivar just got Ac-9c all in against pocket tens. Though he flopped a nine and turned a club draw, he couldn't get there on the river and was eliminated in 16th place for $12,760.

9:44pm--Adolfo Vaeza eliminated 17th place ($12,760)
Adolfo Vaeza just got it all-in pre-flop with chip leader Karl Hevroy. At this point in the tournament, you could call this one a cooler. Vaeza held Ac-Qd to Hevroy's Ad-Kd. Hevroy made his king on the flop and that was that.

9:40pm--Antes up
We're now playing 5,000/10,000/1,000 blinds with 17 players remaining. We will play until we reach the final table of nine.
While we get rolling here, here's what some of the people here thinks goes into making a good poker tournament.
