Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
A year ago, Alvaro Murciano came agonizingly close to hoisting an 888poker Live Main Event trophy when he lost a tough heads-up match against Ian Simpson in Madrid. Now Murciano has a chance to do it all over again, and perhaps change the outcome this time.
Murciano will take the chip lead over the nine players who return tomorrow for the final table of the 888poker Live Barcelona €888 Main Event, bagging up 4,765,000 after a lengthy day that went past 3 a.m. at the Casino Barcelona. Murciano did most of his damage against former big stack Terry Jordon, doubling up off Jordon with a set against two pair. He then turned a straight and moved all in on the river as Jordon called for his last 320,000 with another beaten two pair.

Jordi Conejos is Murciano’s closest challenger, ending Day 2 with 3,365,000. Conejos earned two late bustouts, first spiking a set of jacks to crack Audrius Budzinskis’ aces and then picking up two tens against Alexander zur Linden’s nines to bust Zur Linden in 13th.
Start-of-day chip leader Michael Falcon brought the night to a close when he turned a flush to bust Albert Grane in 10th place, bringing him up to 2,555,000 and in third place heading to the final table. The rest of the final table lineup includes German Zafra (1,975,000), 888poker streamer Jesus Ramos (1,700,000), and Pol Silva (1,130,000), while the short stacks are Florens Feenstra (855,000), Mateo Flament (785,000), and Ryan Dansie (490,000).
A total of 135 players began the day out of a field of 350 entries. Only the top 47 would make the money and secure a piece of the €263,424 prize pool, and Lucia Navarro, Ricardo Mateus, Day 1a chip leader Jenny Westerlund, and 888poker Live Glasgow champion Martin Lechner were among those to miss the money. Ramos burst the bubble when he won a race with ace-queen against Gleb Novick’s jacks.
Inaki Angulo (42nd), 888poker Live Madrid champion Gorka Akerreta (38th), and Jordon (33rd) were among the post-bubble bustouts. Simpson, meanwhile, doubled up with Broadway, then picked up kings a few hands later to jump up past 600,000 and spark hopes of another deep run. It was not to be, however, as Simpson lost a three-way all in when Martin Fernandez spiked an ace on the river to beat Simpson’s eights. Simpson was then racing again with ace-king against Zur Linden’s sixes, but he couldn’t connect with the board and fell in 28th place.

Alvaro Murciano raised to 100,000 under the gun, Martin Fernandez put in his last 175,000 in the cutoff, and Murciano called off the extra few chips.

Alvaro Murciano: J♦10♣
Fernandez had picked up two kings yet again, but he'll have nightmares about that hand as the Q♣J♣5♥8♦9♠ board gave Murciano a running straight to send Fernandez to the rail in 11th place.

Jordi Conejos raised to 100,000 in the cutoff before Alexander zur Linden reraised to 655,000 in the big blind. Conejos called and turned over his two tens before realizing Zur Linden still had 50,000 behind. The flop came 8♣8♠7♥ and Zur Linden checked to Conejos, who moved all in.
"You can still fold," Conejos told him.
"Doesn't make sense," Zur Linden replied as he tossed in his last chips.
Alexander zur Linden: 9♦9♥
Jordi Conejos: 10♠10♣
Zur Linden already knew he was crushed by Conejos' pair, and the board ran out J♦Q♥ to send him to the rail.
