Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The Day 2 chip leader Hugo Spangenberg had a rough first couple of levels. He lost nearly half his stack in small pots and now his day has come to an end at the hands of Ernesto "Flacco" Panno, who just recently finished 4th in the PokerStars Festival Uruguay Main Event.
We caught his final hand on the flop with the board showing 
and roughly 40,000 already in the pot. Action was on Spangenberg first and he checked over to Panno. Panno put out a bet of 22,000. Spangenberg reraised, making it 100,000 to go. Panno quickly moved all in and Spangenberg called off the rest of his stack which was about 240,000.
Panno: 
Spangenberg: 
The turn was the 
giving Panno the unbeatable full house and that would be the end for Spangenberg who hit his flush on the 
river anyways. With that the Day 2 chip leader hit the rail leaving the field with just 11 players.

Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos raised to 18,000 from under the gun and Alejandro Lopez three-bet to 58,000 out of the small blind. Lampropulos went into the tank for nearly a minute and eventually shoved. Lopez called to put her at risk and both players tabled their hands.
Lampropulos: 
Lopez: 
Lampropulos had the preflop advantage with the larger of the two pocket pairs and Lopez needed a lot of help from the deck in order to send Lampropulos home. The flop came 
to give Lopez quads and leave Lampropulos drawing perilously thin. The 
on the turn meant Lopez had a lock on the hand, and he took the pot to eliminate Lampropulos after the meaningless 
fell on the river.

Maria Lampropulos raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Martin Crosa called from the big blind.
Both players checked the 
flop and the 
turn.
The river brought the 
and Crosa checked. Lampropulos bet 14,000, Crosa folded, and she took the pot.
The previous LAPT champion began Day 3 as the shortest stack, and while she still has her work cut out for her, she has more than doubled the stack she took out of the bag at the start of the day.

Christian Franco raised from under the fun to 13,000. Action folded around where Maria Lampropulos moved all in from the big blind for 35,000 more. Franco called it off and the two turned up their hands.
Lampropulos: 
Franco: 
The board ran out 
and that earn Lampropulos a much-needed double as the shortest stack in the tournament.
