It's been a bad period for Team PokerStars Pro as Luca Pagano lost a pot and Johnny Lodden was eliminated.
Pagano was involved in a four-way pot that went to a flop. His 1,800 bet was only called by Arie Kliper en route to the turn. Pagano fired again, for 3,000. Call. The river came and the Italian quickly checked behind when Kliper checked for a third time. Kliper got there with , besting Pagano's .
Meanwhile on a nearby table Lodden's luck was well and truly out. He busted with pocket kings to Michele Aniello's pocket tens. The chips went in on a ten-high board. The only saving grace for the Norwegian is that he can go and see the Barcelona football match on Monday.
Joe Ebanks was just wandering around in front of the press area, dragging his feet; a sure sign that he was out.
He said he played a hand pretty bad. He rivered the nut flush and committed his stack. The problem was that the board was paired and his opponent was in waiting with a full house and claimed his scalp.
In early position, Davidi Kitai opened to 850, and Mihails Morozovs three-bet to 2,175. In the small blind, Senol Karahasan gave a deep stare and cold-called, and Kitai also called the raise to go three-handed to the flop.
It came , and the three men checked around to the turn. Karahasan took the lead now with 2,400 of his own chips, but Kitai rather quickly raised to 6,800 total. That folded Morozovs without too much trouble, but Karahasan would spend the next couple minutes in the think tank. Finally, Kitai looked up and spoke to him: "I show you."
Just a few seconds after that remark, Karahasan reraised all in with the covering stack, and Kitai instantly released his cards into the muck. He's been reduced down around 12,000 now after dropping about 40% of his chips on that hand.

Team PokerStars Pro Ville Wahlbeck was absent from his seat for a good while and we were starting to get a little worried (not really). We needn't have though as he was feeling a little peckish so went off for some food.
Not long after coming back he doubled up with a turned flush versus an opponent holding a set to boost his stack up to 54,000. He now has plenty of time to get fully engrossed in a book on his iPad.
Although we've just updated them a few minutes ago, the Team PokerStars Pros are moving some chips. Most notably, the Czech Republic's Martin Hruby moved all of his chips to another player, ending his EPT Barcelona a bit earlier than he'd hoped. Here's how the rest of the Team stack up right now; it's a dead heat at the top.

Sylvester Kleian raised from the cutoff seat to an unknown amount, only to have Team PokerStars Pro Alex Kravchenko three-bet from the small blind to 2,125. Action folded back to Kleian and he four-bet to 5,650. After a little bit of a tank, Kravchenko mucked his hand.

After one player limped in from under the gun, Daniel Reijmer raised from the next seat to 1,100. Everyone folded back to the limper and he made the call.
The flop came down and the first player checked. Reijmer opted to let the turn be seen for free when he checked behind.
The turn was the . With four Broadway cards in the middle of the felt and three clubs, both players checked again and the river landed with the to pair the board. The first player checked and Reijmer bet 2,000. His opponent called.
Reijmer tabled the for top two pair and his opponent showed just the before mucking his hand.
