Just prior to 7:30 pm local time, the 2011 Punta Cana Poker Classic bid farewell to two more players, leaving three to battle it out after the extended 1.5 hour dinner break.

The 4^th place prize pays $33,615. The third place prize will pay $54,779, 2^nd pays $82,791 and 1^st place pays an amazing $136,949. That is close to three times as much as last year’s 1^st place prize.

Gone are Jose Barria (6) and Engelberth Varela (5).

CrazyJulius called both:

Jose Barria raised and Carlos Sobenes made the call, flop came 2-9-7 and Barria bet out of turn, and the action went back to Sobenes, he says “All in” and Barria made the call.

Barria: A-7

Sobenes: K 9

The turn is the 2 of spades and the river is the 8 of diamonds and Jose Barria is out of the tournament.

Engelberth Varela moved all in for his last 450,000 chips and Greg Bastin called.

Varela: A 5

Bastin: AQ

Engelbeth’s friends start rooting for him and they start calling for a 5 but the board came without it: K-7-3-2-3 and Bastin rakes in the pot.

Still left Demo Kirlopoulos Evan Mauer 5 Greg Bastin 2 Carlos Sobenes
