Balague Eliminated Before The Break

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

During the last hand before the break, Lucia Martinez Ibanez jammed the {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades} river. Lluis Jo Balague didn't believe her and called it off to get shown the {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, which indeed won the pot. Balague briefly flashed his {a-}{k-} and then headed to the rail.

Nadal Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Heads-up to the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts} turn, Antonio D'Ascenzo bet 1,500 in the small blind and was called by Enric Marti Nadal on the button. D'Ascenzo also bet the {6-Diamonds} river for 3,700 and once his table neighbour called, the Italian sent his cards into the muck to forfeit the pot.

Gonzalez Jams Up His Stack

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Adan Soler Fernandez clashed with Jose Manuel Gonzalez soon after the latter had sat down and called a bet worth 10,100 on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} turn. Gonzalez then pushed the {2-Hearts} river for 13,600 and Soler Fernandez folded.

Kurko Eliminated by Battista

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

"I folded pocket queens," Juan Bastida Perez mentioned in table chat after he had escaped from of a preflop raising war in which Kimmo Kurko was at risk for what appeared to be 26,000. The Finn was looked up by Pablo Battista, who had the superior stack but inferior pocket pair.

Kimmo Kurko: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Pablo Battista: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades} board delivered one of the two jacks right away and Kurko was knocked out.

D'Ascenzo Runs Into a Monster

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

A reraise to 2,400 was in front of Antonio D'Ascenzo out of the big blind and Mariona Canela Riba then squeezed to 8,500 from under the gun. David Garcia Silva called on the button and D'Ascenzo also called for more than half of his remaining stack.

On the {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, the Italian jammed for around 7,000 and Canela Riba folded while Garcia Silva snap-called.

Antonio D'Ascenzo: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
David Garcia Silva: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The Italian needed running cards to a straight flush or full house in order to survive but the {5-Diamonds} turn and {7-Spades} river were of no help.

Corominas Leaves Sanchez Short

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Having defended out of the blinds, Jordi Corominas bet the {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} turn for 2,100 and the {5-Hearts} river for 4,000. Jaime Sanchez snap-called in the cutoff and mucked when he was shown the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for trips tens by Corominas. Losing that pot sent Sanchez down to just one third of the starting stack while Corominas was off to a solid start on his late entry.

Kurko Back in and Chipping Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

On an ace-high board with three diamonds Kimmo Kurko bet large to chip up without showdown and several Spanish players at the table were asking for him to show a bluff. Kurko allowed to let Jose Maria Marquez Boluda pick one of the cards with the Spaniard predicting the queen of diamonds. Instead, the {9-Clubs} was revealed and a dry "close" by Kurko followed.

Also rising further with his usual aggressive style is Jose Manuel Gonzalez as Adan Soler Fernandez endured some losses since the new table neighbour appeared.
