Stantchev Nearly Triples

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

2023 EPT Barcelona champion Simon Wiciak open-raised in middle position. Christian Stantchev then three-bet jammed for 43,500 in the hijack, which Stephen Kehoe called in the small blind.

Wiciak reshoved, folding Kehoe out of the hand.

Christian Stantchev: Q♣10♣ All in
Simon Wiciak: K♠K♣

Stantchev flopped two pair on 6♦10♠Q♥ to take the lead. However, the board paired on the 3♥3♠ runout, sending the chips to Wiciak in the end.

Mavritsakis Meets His End

Panagiotis Mavritsakis, who won the massive €825 PokerStars Open Cup earlier this week, four-bet jammed all in for 70,000 under the gun. Michel Karim snap-called in middle position with the covering stack.

Panagiotis Mavritsakis: 10♥10♦ All in
Michel Karim: Q♥Q♣

Mavritsakis would not capture his second trophy of the series in the Main Event, as the 3♣3♠6♠K♣A♠ runout eliminated him.

Cimbolas Cracks Aces to Send Morales Crashing Out

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Matas Cimbolas raised to 5,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 12,500 from Gustavo Morales on the button. Cimbolas responded with a four-bet, moving all-in for 57,500. Morales beat him into the pot, putting his slightly smaller stack at risk.

Gustavo Morales: A♠A♣ All in
Matas Cimbolas: Q♠Q♥

The Q♣9♠J♥ saw the fortunes reverse as Cimbolas claimed the lead. The J♦ turn and K♠ river couldn't save Morales, who wished the table well before exiting.

Mihai Niste
Mihai Niste

Andrey Andreev raised under the gun to 5,500 and Mihai Niste shoved from the next seat for 20,500. Andrija Cvetkovic made it 35,500 from the cutoff, and Andreev called.

With Niste all in, both players checked the Q♣Q♥K♣ flop to see the 3♥ turn. Andreev bet 20,000, which Cvetkovic called.

The 4♠ river brought a bet of 40,000 from Andreev, and another call from Cvetkovic.

Andreev showed K♠Q♦ for a boat to win both the main and side pots, eliminating Niste, who revealed J♣J♠, while Cvetkovic showed A♦K♥ for top pair.

Tarmo Tammel: A♠K♥ All in
Yakiv Syzghanov: 8♠8♦

The 4♥6♥10♠J♠8♥ board offered Tammel no relief; instead improving Syzghanov to a rivered set, sending Tammel to the rail.

Ullereng is No More

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mats Ullereng
Mats Ullereng

Mats Ullereng only had about 8,000 remaining and decided to commit them all from under the gun. The table folded all the way around to Sylvester Kubiak in the big blind, who quickly put in the call.

Mats Ullereng: Q♦8♠ All in
Sylvester Kubiak: A♠K♥

Kubiak woke up with a monster, although Ullereng did have two live cards working for him.

The 10♥A♣J♥ flop gave Kubiak top pair and left Ullereng needing runner-runner to survive.

The 2♦ turn wasn't part of Ullereng's comeback plan, and the 7♥ river confirmed his departure from the EPT Barcelona Main Event.
