Alex Foxen and Dan Shak have entered the proceedings just before late registration closes after they exited other events in the Casino Barcelona.

Foxen departed from the €2,000 buy-in event and jumped in the single day shortly before Shak entered the room having finished in 8th place for €29,100 in the €10,300 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.

Ayras Falls to Badziakouski

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The flop was down {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and Pauli Ayras was all in from the big blind against Mikita Badziakouski who had called from under the gun.

Badziakouski was ahead with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, and Ayras held {8-Spades}{6-Clubs} looking to hit his outs to survive. The turn {8-Clubs} gave him a little more hope, but the {a-Clubs} river was no help, and he left the table to reenter and sat down with a new 100,000 starting stack to try again.

Badziakouski Eliminates Leong

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mikita_Badziakouski
Mikita_Badziakouski

Mikita Badziakouski has just eliminated Chan Wai Leong after the latter put all his chips at risk preflop and Badziakouski called.

Mikita Badziakouski: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Chan Wai Leong: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Board: {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}

"I'm 60%, you're 40%, I get extra 10% because I'm a luckbox" joked Badziakouski before the flop was revealed.

But Badziakouski was not wrong and held on the board to take the pot with his pocket pair and sent Leong to the rail.

Badziakouski, who won the €100,000 Super High Roller event earlier this week, saw his stack rise to 395,000.
