Berende Sent Off By Piqué

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

After Gerard Piqué limped in from under the gun, Paul Berende raised all in from the cutoff seat for 18,100. Piqué called holding the {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Berende was at risk with the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop gave Berende the lead with the {K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} falling. The turn was the {Q-Spades}, then the river was the {A-Hearts}. With the ace on the river, Piqué retook the lead and won the hand. He eliminated Berende and moved back to 340,000 in chips.

Adams Doubles

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We arrived at the table to find the aftermath of a hand where Timothy Adams doubled through Sam Greenwood. We're not sure of the exact action, but know that Adams' {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} beat Greenwood's {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} on a hand where the completed board read {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. Adams was all in for roughly 55,000 and was able to score a double up, knocking Greenwood to about 170,000 in the process.

EPT Barcelona €10,000 High Roller Breaks Record

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The €10,000 High Roller here at the kickoff festival for Season 10 on the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour has set the record for a high roller event of the same buy-in on the EPT. Last season, the EPT record for a €10,000 High Roller event was broken four separate times: Barcelona, Prague, London, and Berlin. Coming into the start of this event, the EPT Berlin High Roller had the record with 140 entries, but that has since been smashed with the performance of this event in Barcelona.

The EPT Barcelona €10,000 High Roller attracted 138 unique players, and those players generated 42 re-entries for a total field size of 180 entries. That is a 28.6% increase over the record previously set, and an absolutely great showing.

Once the prize pool and payout information is released, PokerNews will promptly post it for your viewing pleasure.

From the cutoff seat, Dan Smith raised to 5,100. Out of the small blind, Gerard Piqué called, then Richard Yong reraised to 14,500 from the big blind. Smith folded, and Piqué called.

On the flop, the {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} fell, and Piqué check-called a bet of 12,500 from Yong. Then, the {Q-Hearts} landed on the turn, and both players checked to see the {K-Clubs} land on the river. Piqué bet 27,000, and Yong called.

Piqué shook his head and mucked his hand. Yong showed the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for trips, and he won the pot.
