Thirteen players took took to the felt at the start of Day 3 action, including some notoriously tough ones like PokerStars Team Pro Leo Fernandez, recent bracelet winner Andres Korn, and previous LAPT champion Maria Lampropulos, who began the day as the short stack. However, only nine spots were paid in this event, and all three of the aforementioned players failed to make the money. Although Lampropulous found a couple of double-ups in fairly short order, she departed when she got her stack in preflop holding jacks against Alejandro Lopez's pocket fives to see her opponent flop quads. Fernandez took a healthy stack out of the bag at the start of play but found himself on the unfortunate end of a set-over-set confrontation early on which left him quite short-stacked, and while he managed to rebuild a bit, he lost a coin flip against Ernesto Panno to exit in 11th place. Korn became the bubble boy when he hit a runner-runner king-high flush and got his stack in on the river only to see his opponent, the eventual champion Francisco Garcia, table the nut flush.

After the bubble broke and the last nine contenders took their seats at the final table, eventual runner-up Christopher Franco knocked out Christian Fernandez and Matias Scaffo in a massive three-way all-in to take the chip lead. Franco held pocket tens and they held up against Fernandez's pocket sixes and Scaffo's suited ace-king. Fernandez had the shortest stack and finished in ninth while Scaffo took eighth place.

Andres Viola was the next to go in seventh place when he got the last of his short stack in the middle holding queen-ten against Garcia's king-eight and got no help from the board. Day 1 chip leader Martin Crosa hit the rail in sixth when he lost a coin flip holding pocket tens against Franco's ace-jack. Alejandro Lopez fell in fifth when he jammed preflop with queen-jack and failed to improve against Garcia's king-nine.

Argentinian Ernesto Panno, who finished in fourth place in the $1,650 Main Event earlier this week for $29,880, took fourth in this tournament, as well. He made his exit when he shoved holding ace-ten and got a caller from Franco with king-nine only to see his preflop advantage evaporate when the flop paired his opponent's king. Jean Sierra departed in third when he couldn't win a race holding ace-eight suited against Franco's pocket sixes.

The heads-up battle between Garcia and Franco lasted for over two hours. Franco had a small chip lead at the beginning and Garcia slowly accummulated the larger stack without any huge pots. In fact, the only hand of heads-up play in which there was an all-in and a call was the final one. Franco opened from the button, Garcia three-bet, Franco four-bet jammed, and Garcia called holding two black tens. Franco showed two black eights and Garcia's hand was still best when the final card hit the felt. When he posed for his winner's photo several minutes later, he was still shaking with excitement. The two tens which had been his vehicle to victory fluttered slightly in his unsteady hand as the surrounding cameras snapped away.

Even at the moment Garcia took the title, the atmosphere in the room was rather subdued. A small rotating cast of players lined the rail throughout final table play, including Leo Fernandez for a time. Just a handful remained by the time the tournament drew to a close on the final day of the first-ever PokerStars Festival Uruguay. And although the action in Punta del Este has concluded, the PokerStars Festival Dublin kicks off in just a few days. Be sure to check back for updates on the action starting on September 27 from the PokerNews live reporting team.

Christopher Franco Eliminated in 2nd Place ($39,120)

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Christopher Franco
Christopher Franco

Christopher Franco raised to 80,000 from the button, Francisco Garcia three-bet to 275,000 from the big blind, Franco jammed for about 875,000, and Garcia instantly called to put Franco at risk.

Franco: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Garcia: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Franco found himself way behind with the smaller of the two pocket pairs and Garcia was just one favorable runout away from taking the title. The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Garcia took the pot with a set of tens to eliminate Franco and end the PokerStars Festival Uruguay $3,300 High Roller.

A full recap will be posted shortly.

Christopher Franco raised to 52,000 from the button. Jean Sierra reshoved from the small blind for roughly 300,000. Christopher Franco called without asking for a count.

Sierra: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Franco: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The board came down {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} which provided no sweat at all for Franco. Sierra hit the rail in 3rd place and will collect $25,420 for his run in the High Roller.

Ernesto Panno Eliminated in 4th Place ($19,180)

Nível 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ernesto Panno
Ernesto Panno

Ernesto Panno got all of his short stack in the middle before the flop against Christopher Franco who had him covered by a wide margin.

Panno: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Franco: {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Panno had the preflop advantage and Franco needed help from the deck in order to send him home. The board ran out {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} giving Franco a pair of kings to win the pot and eliminate Panno in fourth place. This is the second time the Argentinian player has made a final table at PokerStars Festival Uruguay and the second time he has been the fourth-place finisher. In the Main Event earlier this week, he banked $29,880 payday for his efforts.

Alejandro Lopez Eliminated in 5th Place ($14,900)

Nível 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Alejandro Lopez
Alejandro Lopez

Action folded to Alejandro Lopez on the button and he moved all-in for his last 159,000. After a few moments of consideration, Francisco Garcia called from the big blind to put Lopez at risk.

Garcia: {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Lopez: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Garcia had the preflop advantage and Lopez needed to improve in order to preserve his tournament life. The {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was no help to Lopez and the {K-Hearts} turn paired Garcia's king to leave Lopez drawing dead. After the meaningless {4-Spades} fell on the river, Garcia took the pot to end Lopez's deep run in this event.

Martin Crosa Eliminated in 6th Place ($11,540)

Nível 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Martin Crosa
Martin Crosa

Martin Crosa thought for a bit before raising to 65,000 from early position. Action folded around to the button where Christopher Franco moved all in with a covering stack. Action folded back to Crosa who called the shove quicky.

Crosa: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Franco: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The flop and turn were safe for Crosa, coming {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} but the river was just what Franco needed when it fell the {A-Clubs}. It was the ace from space that sent Crosa to the rail. He will collect $11,540 for his sixth place finish.

Nível 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Andres Viola
Andres Viola

Andres Viola had lost several pots without showdown and had been blinded down to right around two big blinds. He shoved his last 35,000 all in from under the gun. Action folded around and Francisco Garcia, who had been the beneficiary of most of Viola's chips, called from the big blind.

Garcia: {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Viola: {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and that kept Garcia in the lead the whole way, securing him the elimination with his king kicker to the board. Viola will collect $9,120 for his seventh place finish.

Matias Scaffo
Matias Scaffo

From under the gun, Cristian Fernandez moved all in for a little over 150,000. Two seats over Christopher Franco called. In the hijack seat, Matias Scaffo then moved all in with a stack a bit more than Fernandez. Action folded back to Franco and he called, putting two players all in and at risk.

Franco: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Scaffo: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Fernandez: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades} giving Franco a better two pair than what was on the board and he scored the double elimination while Scaffo hit the rail in 8th collecting $7,080 and Fernadez took home 9th place money with the shorter stack.

Garcia Eliminates Korn to Break the Bubble

Nível 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Andres Korn
Andres Korn

Andres Korn opened with a raise to 26,000 from the hijack and Francisco Garcia called from the button.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and they checked again.

The {8-Spades} fell on the river and Korn bet 22,000. Garcia shoved, putting Korn to a decision for the remainder of his stack. After some consideration, Korn called and tabled {K-Spades}{4-Spades} for a king-high flush, but Garcia flipped over {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for the ace-high flush and took the pot to eliminate Korn and end the bubble.

The remaining nine players are now redrawing for seats at the unofficial final table.

Leo Fernandez Can't Win a Flip; Eliminated in 11th

Nível 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Leo Fernandez
Leo Fernandez

Leo Fernandez moved all in from under the gun for 106,000. Next to act was Ernesto Panno and he called the shove. Action folded around and the two turned up their cards.

Fernandez: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Panno: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The flop came down {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} putting Fernandez in a big hole. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn brought him some life though with a flush draw. Unfortunately, the river was the {8-Clubs} giving Panno a full house and eliminating Fernandez from the tournament.

The final 10 players are now on the bubble and the next player eliminated will be the last to walk away without a payday.
