It was a really short run for Team PokerStars Pro and the 2007 EPT Prague Main Event winner Arnaud Mattern who was busted by the Austrian player Thomas Muhlocker.
Muhlocker three-bet to 1,600 from the big blind and Mattern made the call on the button. The flop came and Muhlocker continued for 1,850. This was too little for Mattern and he raised to 4,500 and Muhlocker called.
The Austrian checked the turn and Mattern put in another 8,500. Muhlocker thought about it for a while and decided to call.
The dealer opened on the river and Mattern went all-in for 14,400. Muhlocker couldn't make up his mind and eventually had the clock called on him. After five minutes or so he finally called the bet. 'Good call', said Mattern and flipped showing the bluff. Muhlocker opened eliminating Mattern from the tournament.
Barcelona was the very first European Poker Tour Event way back in 2004 and we've been coming back every season since. Here's a look back at the previous final tables:
Mattias De Meulder fired out a bet of 1,650 against Philip Schlums on a flop of , the latter flat-called to see the on the turn. The Team PokerStars Pro continued the aggression with a bet of 3,425 but again Schlums made the call to a fourth spade, the on the river.
De Meulder fired 5,200 this time and Schlums made a small raise to 11,250 - the Belgian rechecked his cards but didn't take that long to send them into the muck.
Ben Wilinofsky flopped the nuts in hand versus Masa Kagawa, but it was the turn that helped the Canadian double up as it made his opponent two pair.
The board read and Kagawa check-raised Wilinofsky's 1,600 bet up to 6,500. Call. The river fell and Kagawa set Wilinofsky in for his last 3,500 with . Wilinofsky snapped his hand off with for Broadway.
Just before the break the 2011 EPT London Main Event winner Benny Spindler got involved into some preflop high-stakes action.
Paul Scott Williams raised to 1,250 in the small blind and the action folded back to Spindler in the early position. Benny re-raised to 3,000, but that wasn't enough for Williams who five-bet to 6,725. Benny thought about it for a while and decided not to go any further and folded.
We spoke with Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree in the break and she was delighted to be on 21,000, considering.
She told us that she flopped three sets but only won one of the pots. The other two times an opponent wither flopped a bigger set or made a larger full house. She was very happy to have lost the minimum.
