Hugo eliminates another - Carlos is 5th

Hugo Almeida is growing in influence at the final table and his chip stack just took another boost, taking out the short stack of Carlos Oliveira to leave the ParadisePro with an €8,488 prize.

Almeida (pictured) raised pre-flop and when "cmpjo" shoved, it was an easy call that pitted Hugo's K♠9♠ against the A♥7♠ of his countryman.

The deck has gradually found more favour with the calm, methodical approach of Almeida, which is also proving quite the antidote to Rene Knapp's unbridled aggression.

And so it proved, as the board came 9♥Q♠4♦-4-J♦ to knock out another dangerous opponent.

Previously Hugo had called two barrels with Ace high against Rene to win a huge pot before the last break.

Lady Luck continues to favour him too, as even when he took K7 to war with Paulo Calado's KK, the board brought a straight to split the pot.
