Amos Moving In A Lot

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ben Amos is a familiar face on the Latin American Poker Tour and he's back again in this one making another Day 2 here in Punta del Este. Amos drew the table that contains overnight chip leader Juan Jose Perez. Amos only began the day with 18,300 and has since fallen even shorter than that.

Just recently, we witnessed Amos moving all in preflop from early position for 10,900. Everyone folded to his shove and Amos tabled just the {A-Spades}. A couple of hands later, Amos received a courteous walk in the big blind to add some more blinds and antes to his stack. He also showed the {A-Spades} on this hand.

Shortly after that -- two hands later -- Amos was on the button and action folded to him after Perez opened with a raise from middle position to 2,500. Amos reraised all in for approximately 15,000 and the two blinds got out of the way. After some chatter back and forth, Perez gave it up, showing that he was laying down the {7-Spades}. Amos showed the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and raked in the chips.

Amos is now up to about 20,000 in chips.
