Nível 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
Day 1 of the inaugural PokerStars Festival Uruguay $3,300 High Roller kicked off at 6:00 p.m. local time on Thursday and a total of 44 entries took to the felt in pursuit of the top prize and trophy. Leading the way after six levels of play is Uruguayan player Martin Crosa, who bagged a stack of 171,700, and just behind him is Hugo Spangenberg with 159,500. They weren't the only players to more than double their 50,000 starting chips; Francisco Garcia (102,100) and Jesse Rosen (101,700) also bagged six-figure stacks at the conclusion of Day 1 play.
In addition to the big stacks, some other highly-accomplished players will return to the felt on Day 2, including PokerStars Team Pro Leo Fernandez (78,900) and WSOP bracelet winner Andres Korn (64,000). Korn is fresh off a victory in a side event here at the Conrad Hotel & Casino, Event #12 No-Limit Hold'em Unlimited Re-Entry, in which he banked a $15,260 payday. Unfortunately, several well-known and capable players who took to the felt in this event didn't survive the day. Among them was Brazilian star Hugo Marcelo, who hit the rail when he flopped a flush holding ten-eight only to run into the nut flush. However, with late registration open and unlimited re-entries available until the start of level 9 tomorrow, this is still absolutely anybody's tournament.
Day 2 will begin Friday at noon local time with blinds at 300/600 with a 100-chip ante. Late registration and re-entries will close at approximately 2:20 p.m. and the day will end when the final table is reached or at the discretion of tournament staff. The eventual champion is scheduled to be crowned on Saturday.
Keep it here for updates on the action in the PokerStars Festival Uruguay $3,300 High Roller, as well as the Main Event which will play down to a winner on Friday, presented by the PokerNews live reporting team.

Marcelo Felted

When we arrived at the table, a substantial pot was already brewing and the board read 
. Hugo Marcelo had committed his entire stack of just under 20,000 and a player in middle position had called. The player in the hijack had already committed 3,000 chips and was facing a decision for the rest, but after some thought, he folded and the two live players tabled their hands.

Opponent: 
Marcelo had flopped a flush but was way behind his opponent's nut flush and needed to hit a runner-runner straight flush in order to double up. The 
turn left Marcelo drawing dead and his opponent took the pot after the
