End of the adventure at the WPT Buenos Aires Master for Leo Augsburger and Tino Libaak. The young Argentinians aged 18 and 17 logically suffered the law of world numbers Juan Lebron and Ale Galan last night at La Rural, in 1h07 of play.

However, these two players still ranked 276th and 323rd will soon rise in the WPT hierarchy as it is obvious that their potential is important. If they lost 6/4 6/2 without converting any of their 7 break points, they showed destructive offensive potential, with 28 winning points scored – as many as Galan and Lebron.

However, the record of unprovoked fouls was less favorable to them (18/9), as was that of punto de oro: they only scored one out of seven disputed. But they will have precisely pushed the best players in the world seven times to the decisive point, proof that the gap is not that big.

So we shouldn't be long in talking about the two new Nox foals, who decided to try the adventure in Spanish lands.

In the quarter-finals, Juan Lebron and Ale Galan have an appointment this Friday with Paquito Navarro and Mike Yanguas. The other posters are as follows: Di Nenno / Nieto vs Tapia / Sanyo; Rico/Gutierrez vs. Bela/Coello and Lima/Stupa vs. Chingotto/Tello.

The quarter-finals will be followed on WPT-TV.
