Martynenko's EPT Barcelona Main Event Comes to an End
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Prior to the EPT Barcelona, PokerStars held a contest asking fans to put together a video offering advice to Rafa Nadal on how to best learn poker. Approximately 800 players submitted videos, but the winner ended up being Sergey Martynenko.
“[I made it] Just for fun,” Martynenko told the PokerStars Blog. “It wasn’t my profession; it’s just interesting for me. Sometimes I’ve got some ideas and I find it funny.”
Here’s a look at Martynenko’s winning video:
For his winning submission, Martynenko was awarded a package to the EPT Barcelona. "I've been playing poker for about two years on PokerStars and my limits are low," he said in an interview with the PokerStars Blog. "I'm trying to get higher but this is the biggest tournament I've ever (played). It's very difficult. The play is very aggressive. I tried to concentrate and to remember all the things I know. Sometimes it helps me."
Unfortunately for Martynenko, his run in the Main Event has come to an end here on Day 2.
Fin for the Finn
With the board reading 
and two players still with cards in their hands, Juha Lauttamus from Finland shoved his short stack and Bulgarian Vasil Panev snap called.
Lauttamus showed 
for a pair of nines and Panev flipped 
revealing the two pair. The 
was no good for the Finn and he left the tournament room.

Lewis Ben-t Out of Shape
Former EPT winner Toby Lewis had had a good start early on, chipping up to about 60,000 but he's just lost a big pot to fellow Brit Ben Spraggons. All the money went in on the turn of a 
board, Lewis holding to Spraggons' 
but the river was a 
to make Spraggons a straight, giving him the pot.

Hansen Crippled
Today has not been a good day for Gus Hansen. We saw the cameras gathering around his table in the far corner and dashed over to investigate.
Hansen was sat in the big blind and battling John Juanda in late position. They two had reached the turn of 
and Juanda was all in for his remaining 47,000 chips.
Hansen only had a few thousand more than the bet and called whilst saying, "Eh, it's very cold in Barcelona anyway."
"I got it," said Juanda and opened 
for the nut flush.
Hansen flipped up 
for a lower flush. The inconsequential river was .
