With around 47,000 in the pot on a board of 9♣9♦2♦6♦, Jason Rocha bet 16,000 from the big blind and was met by a shove all in for roughly 52,000 from Jose Manuel Nadal, who started the hand in early position. After a lot of thought, Rocha opted to fold his hand and forfeit the pot to Nadal.

Joel Casanovas opened to 3,000 from under the gun and was called by Nicolas Fierro in the big blind for a heads-up pot.
Fierro checked to Casanovas, who continued for 3,500 on the A♠4♣10♣ flop. Fierro responded with a check-raise to 9,000 and Casanovas thought it over before making it 25,000 to go.
Undeterred, Fierro quickly shoved for approximately 60,000 total and Casanovas laid his hand down to send the pot Fierro's way.

Juan Diego Rodriguez raised to 3,500 from early position. Domenico Paparo called him in the cutoff and Liutauras Armanavicius called out of the small blind. Manuel De Sousa then three-bet to 14,500 from the big blind. After some thought, Rodriguez four-bet-shoved for roughly 68,000. Paparo and Armanavicius folded, but De Sousa made the call.
Juan Diego Rodriguez: Q♠Q♦ 
Manuel De Sousa: K♠K♦
The flop of Q♥10♦J♠ catapulted Rodriguez into the lead with a set of queens. However, the K♣ came on the turn to give De Sousa a higher set and take back the lead. The 5♣ on the river cemented Rodriguez's elimination from the tournament.

With a completed board of J♦3♣6♠3♥A♣ already on the table and a pot of about 24,000, Borja Martinez was in the tank as he faced a bet of 8,000 from Alan Mustafa.
After a couple of minutes, he dropped a chip across the line to see the good news as Mustafa rolled K♠10♥ for a bluff, seeing that his pocket nines were good, tabling 9♦9♣.

Archibald Seaton opened to 3,500 from the cutoff and was called by Jacques Dan in the small blind and Fernandez Miguez in the big blind.
Action checked through on the K♥Q♠10♥ flop and 6♣ turn. It was checked to Seaton on the 5♥ river and he bet 6,000. Dan called, but then Miguez raised to 20,000.
Seaton quickly let his hand go and Dan called the squeeze. Miguez showed J♣J♥, which was no good against the Q♦J♠ of Dan for a pair of queens to collect the pot.

As it celebrates 20 years of the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Barcelona, PokerStars announced several rule and procedure changes to maintain game integrity, including new rules banning solvers and preflop charts for players and spectators alike.
Kenny Hallaert, a longtime tournament official who recently signed on as a PokerStars ambassador, announced the changes on social media on Monday as EPT Barcelona kicked off with the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event. They include reductions in shot clock time, new dealer guidelines and changes to the redraw process.
PokerNews spoke with the Belgian poker pro to learn more about the game integrity rule changes, the majority of which he said would be in place in Barcelona and going forward at future stops.

Borja Gonzalez opened 3,500 in the cutoff, and Armin Riedl flatted the button before Francesco Riscalzati three-bet to 16,000 from the small blind. Gonzalez snap-called, and Riedl got out of the way.
The dealer spread a flop of K♠8♠6♦, and Riscalzati continued for 9,500. Gonzalez wasted no time making the call.
When the Q♠ fell on the turn, Riscalzati paused momentarily while staring at the board. After a couple of seconds, he fired 16,000 across the line and Gonzalez snap-called again.
The J♠ completed the board on the river, and Riscalzati announced all in, pushing his stack of about 70,000 into the center. Gonzalez surrendered the pot as his cards hit the muck.
