Double Up for Morten

At the main feature table Morten Mortensen shoved his stack of 334,000 and was called by Javier Piazuelo. Mortensen showed {7-} {7-} while Piazuelo flipped {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}.

The flop went {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} leaving Mortensen in the lead, but giving Piazuelo a straight draw. However, the {3-Spades} on the turn and {9-Hearts} on the river didn't change a thing and Mortensen's sevens were good enough for the win.

Double Dreams Over For Romanello

Roberto Romanello - 22nd Place
Roberto Romanello - 22nd Place

That's it. There will be no double European Poker Tour champion crowned in Barcelona after the exit of Roberto Romanello.

He was down to 412,000 when he shoved with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and he found custom from Aku Joentausta with {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

The board ran {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to pair the Finn's ace.

The Day 1a Chip Leader vs. the Day 5 Chip Leader

Aku Joentausta, who finished as the Day 1a chip leader of this event, opened for 40,000 from early position only to have the start-of-the-day chip leader Samuel Rodriguez three-bet to 120,000 from the small blind. Joentausta made the call and it was heads-up action to the {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop.

Rodriguez proceeded to check-call a bet of 100,000 before both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn. When the {K-Hearts} peeled off on the river, Rodriguez fired out 170,000 and Joentausta simply folded.

One for Sahamies

With 600,000 in the pot and a board reading {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}, Elias Gutierrez Hernandez bet 150,000 from the big blind and received a call from Ilari Sahamies in the hijack. The former sheepishly turned over {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, which was no good against the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} of Sahamies.

Ladies No Good for the Lady

Lucille Cailly
Lucille Cailly

Our access to the feature table is a bit restricted, but we do know that Lucille Cailly and Ole Schemion just played a big pot.

From what we could piece together, John Juanda had opened and Cailly three-bet. We're not sure if Schemion put in a reraise or just flatted from the cutoff, but we do know Piazuelo made it 299,000 to go from the button. Juanda quickly got out of the way, Cailly moved all in, Schemion moved all in over the top, and Piazuela got out of the way.

Showdown
Cailly: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Schemion: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Cailly got her stack of around 1 million in good, but she was in a quintessential race. Cailly was looking to have as much success as she did when she finished as runner-up of the 2012 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final, but the {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop had other plans as it gave Schemion the lead by pairing his ace.

Cailly remained stoic as the {5-Clubs} was put out on the turn followed by the {9-Clubs} on the river. Cailly exited the tournament in 21st place for €29,400.

Canavese Survives

Mauro Canavese raised to 150,000, Elias Gutierrez Hernandez moved all-in and Canavese made the call. Canavese opened {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} and was dominated by Hernandez's {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}.

However, the {10-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts} gave hope for the Italian to hit a straight. The {7-Hearts} on the turn wasn't what Canavese was looking for, but the {Q-Clubs} on the river was and Canavese doubled up.
