Each elimination carries more and more weight as we approach the bubble here in the EPT 10 Barcelona Main Event. After cries of an all in and a call were shouted through the tournament area, media and players alike swarmed the table to see the outcome of the action.
In this particular hand, Theodoros Aidonopoulos was all in before the flop holding 
and was racing for his tournament life against Pawel Brzeski's 
. The dealer brought forth a flop that read 
and Aidonopoulos quickly stood up out of his chair and took a few steps away from the table, seeing that his opponent had taken the lead with a pair of nines. The 
came on the turn which caused Aidonopoulos to pull out his phone, thumb through the messages and begin to walk away. He shot once final glance back to the felt to see the 
finish off the board and give Brzeski a winning two pair.
By absorbing Aidonopoulos' stack, Brzeski now sits at 190,000 here on the bubble.
