Jose Miguel Esteban Nieto Eliminated in 9th Place (€50,000)
On the second hand back from the break, play folded around to Jose Miguel Esteban Nieto in the hijack seat. He pushed his entire stack of 650,000 into the middle. Play then folded over to Martin Schleich in the small blind and he tanked for a couple minutes after asking for a count. Eventually, Schleich reraised all in. Juan Manuel Perez quickly folded from the big blind and the hands were tabled. Schleich showed down the 
to dominate Esteban's 
.
The flop came down paired with the 
falling to the felt. Schleich maintained his lead with ace-jack high while Esteban did pick up some outs to a chop now that the board was paired.
The turn added the 
to the board and left Esteban needing a ten to win the hand. He could also find a nine or a three to chop, but anything else would send him out the door in ninth place.
The dealer burned one last time and then dealt the 
on the river. It wasn't what Esteban needed and Schleich's ace-jack high was good enough for him to take down the pot. Esteban was eliminated in ninth place, earning €50,000 for his finish and officially setting the 2011 PokerStars.com EPT Barcelona final table.
