Alekberovas Eyes Back-to-Back Final Tables

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Don't look now, but Anaras Alekberovas is primed to make another deep run in an EPT Barcelona Main Event. Last year's fourth-place finisher started the day on a so-so stack, but now he's up to 1.2 million!

In a recent hand, action folded to Alekberovas in the cutoff and he opened for 25,000. The button folded and then Jacques Torbey decided to move all in for 284,000 from the small blind. The big folded and Alekberovas quickly called.

Torbey sheepishly turned over the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, which was in bad shape against the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} of Alekberovas. The {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} gave Torbey a gutshot straight draw, and the {9-Diamonds} turn made it an open-ended draw. Much to his disappointment, the {2-Hearts} river failed to complete it and he was out in 67th place.

Ace on the River Saves Duta

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Over at the secondary feature table, a big pot was created after Clement Thumy got his stack of 289,000 all in preflop and was up against Florian-Dimitrie Duta.

Duta held the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} and was in dire straits against the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of Thumy. The {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop was dry for Duta, though the {5-Spades} river gave him a wheel draw. Duta needed either an ace or deuce on the river to stay alive, and he found one when the {a-Hearts} spiked.

Duta doubles to over 50 big blinds while Thumy was knocked down to just 17,000.
