The day began with 24 players returning to
action including Team PokerStars Pro
Humberto Brenes. Entering the day as the shortest stack in the
room didn't make things easy on Brenes and he was out the door in 22nd
place.
Brenes was all-in with 
against Martin Santos' 
. The board ran out 
and that was the end of the
line for the Costa Rican pro.
Also falling short of the final table were notables Caio Pimenta
(12th) and Mayu Roca (11th). The last player eliminated on the
day was Joshua Ewing in ninth place.
Getting short on chips, Ewing looked down to see pocket fours and
moved all-in for approximately 230,000. He was crushed by the pocket
kings held by Gasperino Nicolas and couldn't find any help on the
flop, turn or river. For his finish, Ewing took home R$22,390 and his
elimination officially ended the day.
The biggest name at the final table belongs to Team PokerStars Pro
and four-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Daniel
Negreanu. This was Negreanu's first time ever making an LAPT cash and he's
made the most of it so far by finding his way to the final table. In
doing so, Negreanu has accomplished a feat that no other poker player
has done.
Combining this final table appearance with his EPT Vienna and APPT Sydney final
table finishes in 2010, Negreanu is the only poker player to ever make a
final table in Main Events across all three of the PokerStars-sponsored
tours. "Kid Poker" bagged up 702,000 in chips and will enter Monday's
final day fifth overall.
