The EPT Barcelona Main Event seems to be going much better for Daniel Negreanu than the €50,000 Super High Roller did. With already a decent stack in his possession Negreanu just won a huge pot busting two players at the same time.
Frederic Bussot-Fuentes from France shoved from the early position for 47,600 and Marco Sposito on his immediate left called for around 16,000. Negreanu gave it some thought, entertaining the crowd around the table at the same time, and finally made the call.
Showdown
Negreanu:

Sposito:
The dealer burned and put out the flop, giving Negreanu the lead with a pair of aces, king kicker. The on the turn didn't change a thing, and neither did the on the river. Negreanu collected the pot while sending both his opponents to the rail.
Julian Hirt raised to 5,500 and PokerStars Team Pro Ivan Demidov moved all in for 39,100. No-one else was really interested but Hirt made the call and tabled his cards.

The flop brought no joy for the Russian, coming but the turn gave the Russian a straight flush draw. The on the river though was the blankiest blank you could ever see and the tournament for the former WSOP Main Event runner-up is now over.
Level 13, as unlucky as it was for some, is done. That means players are on the last 15-minute break of the day. When they return, they'll play Level 14 before bagging and tagging.
Farid Chati from Belgium has just had an incredible run by busting two players at his table in two consecutive hands! At first he sent home the player in the hijack seat who went all-in with and ran into Chati's which proved to be the winning hand on a board.
Then on the very next hand Germany's Julian Bober shoved from an early position and Chati called again. The Belgian showed a pair of kings and hit a set on the flop eliminating a second player in just two hands.
Sam Holden is trying to make a splash on this this side of the pond after making the 2011 World Series of Poker final table. He's making a good fist of it today, and has broken through the 200k barrier.
He opened to 4,000 and then tank-called when Igor Kurganov shoved for 34,7000.

"I assume you're good at flipping so I'm going to stand."
He wasn't wrong as the board ran to make the Brit two-pair.
Daniel Negreanu is up to 120,000 after he raised to 4,500 and got one caller before Borge Dypvik moved all from the big blind. Negreanu pushed in to cover and get rid of the caller.
