A series of preflop raises led to two of the late-night chip leaders getting their stacks into the middle preflop.

Otto Portuondo:
Alex Cruz:

Portuondo found himself in an unfortunate situation and things got worse after the flop gave Cruz top set.

The turn left Portuondo drawing dead and the river ended the once chip leader’s night.

Alex Cruz - 694,000
Otto Portuondo - Eliminated
