Jordi Mataix Eliminated in 7th Place (€5,730)
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jordi Mataix shoved all in for 815,000 from under the gun as action folded to Carlos Esquerdo on the button who reshoved. The blinds got out of the way, leaving him heads-up with Mataix and looking to shorten the field.
Jordi Mataix: K♥J♠
Carlos Esquerdo: A♠A♣
Esquerdo showed down two aces and the A♦9♠6♣ flop left Mataix drawing only to running cards as Esquerdo made top set. The Q♦ turn gave Mataix a straight draw, but he couldn't connect with the 4♣ river and was eliminated in seventh place.

Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to Christopher Arpal in the small blind who raised to 175,000 holding A♣5♥. Carlos Esquerdo called A♠7♥ and they went heads-up to the 8♣7♣J♦ flop.
Both players checked to the J♥ turn, where Arpal led out for 125,000. Esquerdo called and the 4♣ fell on the turn.
Arpal then bet another 200,000 and Esquerdo tanked for a moment before calling, showing his two pair to win the pot.
Esquerdo and Arpal are the final two players sporting an EAPT badge. The one who lasts the longest in the tournament will win a free seat in the next EAPT festival in Bucharest next month.

Christopher Arpal raised to 110,000 before Teddy Kamel three-bet to 325,000 in early position. Ariel Galactico, who had donned a mask, then moved all in from the cutoff.
Arpal folded, but Kamel called for his last 835,000.
Teddy Kamel: A♦J♣
Ariel Galactico: A♣K♠
The two players exchanged a fist bump awaiting the 10♣5♦7♣ flop, which kept Galactico in the lead. The K♦ turn improved Galactico to top pair, while Kamel picked up a straight draw.
