Three Down After Dinner

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Marco Regonaschi raised to 25,000 and Samuel Hernandez shoved for his last 57,000 from the button, which the Italian called.

Samuel Hernandez: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Marco Regonaschi: {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The board came {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Hernandez was gone. Younesse Oualgasi followed right after and then Matthew Judd got it in preflop against Alessandro Predaroli.

Alessandro Predaroli: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Matthew Judd: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The board of {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} provided no help and that was it for the British player.

Castillo Claims Dogra Dogra Scalp on Moody River

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Harcharan Dogra Dogra is OUT after a sensational hand in which his red hot hopes were coolered.
Harcharan Dogra Dogra is OUT after a sensational hand in which his red hot hopes were coolered.

Harcharan Dogra Dogra got his last chips into the middle in great shape, all-in pre-flop for 200,000 with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} against Jose Manuel Planells Castillo's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Even the suits were covered.

The flop of {10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} ket Dogra Dogra ahead, even making him a set. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn was the plainest of bricks upon which to build his new chip mountain. But the {9-Clubs} river gave Castillo an unlikely straight and sent Dogra Dogra out of the 888Live Barcelona Main Event, a bee-line made for the cash desk before Castillo could even begin stacking up his chip leading pile.

Nothing is ever easy in poker....unless right now your name is Jose Manuel Planells Castillo.

Wilska Busts Tevis and Blumlein

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Vitaly Tevis got his stack in with the {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Jaako Wilska more than happily called with {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} after the {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop The {5-Diamonds} turn and {2-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Tevis was eliminated.

In the last hand of the level, Frank Blumlein was the player at risk and tabled pocket jacks. Wilska had {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and the board came {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} to provide two aces for the Finn.

Pons The Flop

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, Fernando Pons was all-in against Anton Nikolin.

Anton Nikolin: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Fernando Pons: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The turn of {10-Spades} gave Pons a serious sweat, so called for a "red deuce" in Spanish. The river wasn't one of those, but the {5-Clubs} preserved his winning hand, and he got the massive double-up he needed to survive.

Andre Andrade on the Rail

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Andre Andrade: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades} and the Portuguese was done for the day.
