Roberto Fernandez went for an early all-in with his super short stack of just 27,000 and was called by Felix Kretchmann on the button. Fernandez flipped and needed help from the board as Kretchmann was in the lead with .
The dealer flopped and Fernandez was still on the verge of elimination. The looked good for Kretchmann, but Fernandez caught the on the river saving his tournament life. However, with just over six big blinds in his stack, Fernandez is still at risk of busting early today.
It took little time for the first all-in hand to occur here on Day 4. It happened when short-stacked Team PokerStars Pro Matthias De Meulder was all in preflop with and racing against the of Felix Kretchmann.
The flop didn't hit De Meulder directly, but it did give him an added gut-shot straight draw to go with his overs. The turn gave the Belgian counterfeits outs, but the river would completely miss him. With that, De Meulder exited the tournament floor and left Fatima Moreira de Melo as the last Team PokerStars Pros remaining.
Lucille Cailly was caught bluffing by Joni Jouhkimainen on one of the first hands of the day.
The two were battling in the blinds and when we caught up with the action the turn was out to leave a board. Cailly led for 43,000 from the small blind and Jouhkimainen called from the big blind.
The river came as and and Cailly went for it again with a 53,000 bet. She didn't have to wait long to find out her fate as her Finnish opponent snapped her off. She looked startled and took a moment to recover, to recover enough to slide her cards into the muck. Jouhkimainen scooped in the chips without having to show down.
It's already Day 4 here at the Main Event of the opening festival of Season 9 on the European Poker Tour. The plan for today from inside the Casino Barcelona is to play from 61 players down to 24.
The field is still absolutely stacked with talent and back story so today should be thrilling, and will probably be our shortest day of the week. We have former winners in the shape of Zimnan Ziyard and Roberto Romanello, and we have former runner-ups in Lucille Cailly and John Juanda.
Team PokerStars are still being represented by Fatima Moreira de Melo and Matthias De Meulder. Moreira De Melo is looking to make her first EPT final table and comes back with a top-five stack, but De Meulder has the second shortest stack and needs a lot of help.
We also have the talented Ilari Sahamies, Jonathan Karamalikis, Morten Mortensen, Eddie Tasbas, Ben Jackson, and Ilan Boujenah to look out for.
Join us back here at 12:00 PM CET when the action will kick off again.
