Players on Break
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
The remaining 38 players are heading for a brief 10-minute break. They'll have just enough time to down a cold drink, tell a bad beat story or snarf down a tasty sandwich from the bar, but not all three.
We'll be back in ten for the final two levels of the night.
Cherniak Eliminated
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
A rather small pot emerged between Evgenii Cherniak in the hijack and Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez on the button, before the stacks went in after the 
turn. Cherniak had around 175,000 left and tabled 
, but immediately sighed when Lopez Gonzalez turned over 
for two pair.
Neither a queen or king appeared, but rather the 
river, and that left Cherniak empty-handed.

Cate Hall Takes Chip Lead
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Cate Hall has the chip lead with 41 players remaining in the 888Live Barcelona Main Event. Having been busy writing up her last hand, we asked Cate to let us know what happened when she was free from the action.
"I limped in the small blind with 
. The flop came 
and we both checked. On the turn, which was an off-suit four, I made it 28,000 and the big blind called. On the river, I bet 156,000 and he called, he only showed a four, but I took it down."
That flopped flush gives Cate Hall the lead and given that she's one of only two players to have cracked a million chips so far today, there is a big chance that Hall will be here on the final day.

A completed board of 
saw Jaime Victor Soler Puig bet 81,000 into a pot of at least double that. It was the American Cate Hall who had the decision and for a decent chunk of her chips. Eventually, she called, however, and her
