Cheat Sheet or Love Letter?

During the break, we were counting down Norbert Ludger's sprawling chip stack. We noticed that he has a small blue piece of paper folded in half under his blue chips. A bit of writing was just visible through the fold, but we couldn't make out what was inside. We love guessing games though, so here are some possibilities:

- Cliff's Notes on "Poker for Dummies"
- Map of the remarkably confusing Mantra property
- Grocery list
- Spanish-to-English translation of "all in"
- Horoscope for Sagittarius
- Handwritten Team PokerStars Uruguay contract
- Nacho Barbero's autograph
- His lucky piece of chewing gum
- Buy-one-get-one-free coupon for Mr. Chivito's down the street
- Today's lottery numbers

We're not exactly sure what it is, but we know what it's not. It can't be a list of the players he's eliminated in this tournament; the paper is too small for that.

Another All In

For the second hand in a row, Bernardo Dias moved all in preflop, this time for 495,000. When the table folded to the small blind, Nicolas Cardyn made the call with his last 280,000 chips, putting himself at risk in the process. The big blind folded quickly, and the cards were on their backs:

Dias: {A-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Cardyn: {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Cardyn had to fade a flush draw by the time the river rolled around, but the board of {7-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} was ultimately safe and clean. With his kicker playing, Cardyn has found his double up to stay alive.

Dias - 215,000
Cardyn - 620,000

Roman Suarez Eliminated in 8th Place ($20,850)

First in from the button, Roman Suarez stuck in a raise to 140,000. When Norbert Ludger folded his small blind, Nacho Barbero announced an all-in reraise, putting the decision right back on Suarez. He had only 600,000 total to begin the hand, and he made the call for the remainder, putting himself all in and at risk.

Showdown
Suarez: {A-Hearts} {5-Spades}
Barbero: {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Despite being dominated, Suarez had a pretty decent chance of at least chopping the pot and staying alive. The flop, however, was a disastrous {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts}, pairing Barbero's kicker and leaving the endangered player drawing dead to two running cards.

If the flop was bad, the {7-Clubs} on the turn was devastating. Barbero improved to the unbeatable trip sevens, and a meaningless {6-Hearts} filled out the board as Suarez was already shaking hands with the remaining players.

On the first hand of the new level, Roman Suarez becomes our eighth-place finisher. He'll pocket more than $20,000 for his work this week.

Now for the good news: Barbero is up to 1.4 million and battling for the chip lead.
