If you need to use the bathroom or want to stand in the foggy, tiny smoking room for a bit, now is the time to do it.

Paul Berende Crippled
Roberto Romanello has once again got his chips in the middle against Paul Berende.
Romanello: 
Berende: 
In the last hand it was a flopped pair of Jacks that took the pot away from Romanello when he was ahead pre flop. This time it was a flopped Jack that took the pot away from Berende. A Queen on the river giving Romanello two pair.
Board: 
Sloooooooowwwwdoooooowwwwwwn
Remember that slowdown we said we were due? It seems that it is now upon us. 10 whole minutes on the floor provided us with nothing more scintillating than an open shove from Kristoffer Thorsson in the cutoff for 289,000. Everyone folded and the pot was his.
It was inevitable that we would see some slowing of the breakneck pace, but seeing as we're tantalisingly close to our target of 24 players, the TD has made the excellent decision not to take a dinner break. So we'll be playing right through now until we have our last three tables set.
Fernandez Crippled By Notaro
Team PokerStars Pro, Leo Fernandez has just lost a huge coinflip to leave himself with just 61,000 chips.
Francesco Notaro opened the betting from early position with a raise to 60,000. Everyone folded around to Fernandez in the small blind, who after a minute or so thinking time, moved his stack into the middle of the felt. Notaro quickly called and it was off to the races.
Fernandez: 
Notaro: 
The dealer burned a card as the cameras closed in on the table, before dealing a 
flop, straight away giving Notaro the lead, leaving the Argentinian Team Pro drawing to two outs.
Turn: 
The arrival of the nine of hearts on the turn gave Fernandez some more outs to an unlikely Broadway straight.
River: 
Not what Fernandez was looking for at all and worse news was still to come, not only had he lost the hand, he had also lost all but 61,000 of his chips, and with these blinds those won't last long.
Notaro moves up close to 800,000
Marius Pospiech Crippled Holding Pocket Kings
Marius Pospiech was all-in against PokerStars Online Qualifier Giuseppe Pantaleo and looking very likely to double up. He was holding pocket kings and Pantaleo had 
. All Pospiech had to do was dodge an Ace - or so he thought!
Flop: 
Ouch! Pospiech moved away from the table in disgust.
Turn: 
River:
Pospiech crippled at 80,000 and Pantaleo up to 820,000
Not Romanello's Day, He's Out Of Here
Roberto Romanello's tournament is over after he lost yet another coinflip, this one for all his chips.
Whilst on the feature table he lost a big pot with pocket tens against queen-jack, had aces cracked by king-jack and then ran jacks into pocket aces. The feature table then broke but his luck failed to change as he got all his chips in the middle with 
only for Zachary Korik to wake up with 
.
With the board reading 
Romanello asked the dealer to put one of his outs on the river. "Come on dealer. You know you can do it, but I won't be angry if you don't."
River: 
- Romanello's pleas fell on deaf ears and he is out of the EPT Barcelona Main Event. It just wasn't his day
De Meulder's Comeback Cut Short
Belgian Team PokerStars Pro, Matthias De Meulder had looked as if he was going to stage an epic comeback but alas , he is not.
Down to just 50,000 chips at one point, he managed to get his stack up to 270,000 before losing a key hand that would have give him some more breathing room.
We joined the action just as the cards had been turned over and it was obvious De Meulder was the man at risk, as Francesco Notaro had him well covered .
Notaro:
De Meulder: 
Flop: 
Turn: 
- Locking up the hand for Notaro
Meaningless River: 
Notaro gave out an unsporting cheer as De Meulder rose from his seat. Notaro has been on a real streak at the moment, taking chips from the pros like they are going out of fashion
