Hernandez De Lorenzo Eliminated on a Flip
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
After the bubble broke, eliminations are happening at a fast and furious pace. We will update shortly on the first players to reach the money.
Daniel Hernandez De Lorenzo was among the early eliminations out in 60th place for €3,540. He open-jammed for 164,000 before Day 1c chip leader Netanel Minyan three-bet shoved for 319,000. The player in the big blind asked for a chip count before he folded.
It was a classic race with Hernandez De Lorenzo holding 
and Minyan holding 
. However, Minyan took a huge lead after he hit a set on the 
flop. Hernandez De Lorenzo collected his payout ticket after the 
on the turn and the 
on the river weren't the combination of cards he needed as runners to catch up.

De Georgio Bubbles
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Despite the long wait for the hand for hand, the bubble lasted exactly just one hand.
Andrea De Georgio (pictured, blue shirt) jammed 85,000 from late position and got a call from Tomasz Chmiel from the big blind.
The hand was paused while other tables could finish.
"If I don't win this hand, I hope you do," De Georgio said to his opponent.
None of the other tables featured all-in hands and the hand resumed play with a crowd gathered.
Andrea De Georgio: 
Tomasz Chmiel: 
The crowd gave out a small cheer when Chmiel paired the 
flop. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river were unable to save De Georgio and many of the remaining players broke out in a round of applause for cashing for at least a minimum of €3,400 in the Main Event.

Hand For Hand Begins
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
After nearly 45 minutes of no eliminations, one finally took place and the tournament is now hand for hand with 73 remaining.

Small Ball Near the Bubble
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The tournament is just two spots away from the bubble breaking and a lot of the hands we are witnessing are being taking down either with a single raise before the flop or a three-bet.
The tournament will go into hand for hand mode after one more elimination.
Canali Showing No Fear
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The tournament is now five spots away from the bubble. This didn't stop Roberto Canali from getting his stack in the middle against an active player in Jon Kyte.
Canali opened up for 16,000 before Kyte three-bet to 44,000. The action folded back to Canali who went all in for 186,000. Kyte went into the tank.
"Ace-king again?" asked Kyte?
Kyte got no response and let his time bank wind down.
The player sitting next to Kyte asked him a question and Kyte reponded, "Yeah, I know he did that because it was me."

: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Last year, Luigi Andrea Shehadeh won the 888poker LIVE Barcelona Main Event for €110,000. He had a huge stack today but he gave about half of it over to Catherine Hanna in a hand just before the break.
The hand began with Shehadeh opening to 13,000 and Hanna calling. Hanna checked the 
flop and called a bet of 25,000 from her opponent.
Hanna then led out for 32,000 when the 
paired the board on the turn and got a call from her opponent.
After the completed the board on the river, Hanna checked. Shehadeh bet 80,000 and Hanna jammed for 155,000. Shehadeh used some of his time bank before he called.
Shehadeh held 
for trips. However, this wasn't good enough to win the pot as Hanna coolered him with a full house holding 
.
