Arnaud Enselme Eliminated in 14th Place (€67,800)

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Arnaud Enselme
Arnaud Enselme

The stream joined the action with Arnaud Enselme all-in for 1,160,000 from the button, and at risk of elimination at the hands of big blind Matas Cimbolas.

Arnaud Enselme: A♥10♣ All in
Matas Cimbolas: A♣K♠

The 5♦7♠6♣ flop offered no help to Enselme, who was then left with just three outs after the J♦ hit the board. The river was unforthcoming, as the 4♣ river brought Enselme's Main Event run to an end.

John Juanda Eliminated in 15th Place (€67,800)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Johnson Juanda
Johnson Juanda

Jose Criado raised to 100,000 from the hijack and John Juanda jammed for 415,000 from the big blind. Criado called, hoping to send the Poker Hall of Famer to the rail.

John Juanda: K♥Q♥ All in
Jose Criado: 5♥5♣

Juanda was the shortest stack in the tournament and one of only two remaining players with a chance of winning a second EPT Main Event title.

Juanda picked up a straight draw on the J♠A♥3♠ flop, but wasn't able to improve beyond his king-high after the 9♣6♦ completed the board.

Juanda wished the players good luck as he headed to the rail in 15th place, while Criado's stack climbed to over seven million.

Eduardo Kalil Eliminated in 16th Place (€56,600)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Eduardo Kalil
Eduardo Kalil

Jose Criado raised to 120,000 from middle position, with Gerard Carbo calling on the button. Eduardo Kalil jammed from the big blind for 435,000, with both Criado and Carbo calling.

With Kalil all-in, the dealer fanned the 2♦K♥8♦ flop, where both players checked to see the Q♣ on the turn.

Both checked again, and the 3♦ completed the runout. One more check came from Criado, but Carbo bet 375,000. Criado folded K♣4♣, and the cards were tabled between Carbo and Kalil.

Carbo showed J♦10♦ for a flush to win the pot and bust Kalil in 16th place, as he tabled A♣10♥ for ace-high.

Jonas ten Cate Eliminated in 17th Place (€56,600)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jonas Ten Cate
Jonas Ten Cate

Jonas ten Cate raised to 120,000 under the gun and Gerard Carbo three-bet the cutoff to 270,000. When the action got back to Ten Cate, he called.

Ten Cate checked the 6♥J♣9♥ flop and Carbo bet 190,000. After using a time bank, Ten Cate check-jammed for about 1,200,000, and Carbo quickly called.

Jonas ten Cate: 8♥7♥ All in
Gerard Carbo: K♥4♥

Carbo was ahead with king-high for now, but Ten Cate still had some outs with two cards to come.

The J♥ turn completed Carbo's flush and took away Ten Cate's pair outs, leaving him with just two outs to make a straight flush.

The Q♥ river wasn't one of them, and Ten Cate headed to the rail in 17th place.

Vinicius Goncalves Eliminated in 18th Place (€47,150)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Vinicius Goncalves
Vinicius Goncalves

When the action folded to Vinicius Goncalves in the small blind, he moved all-in for 1,065,000. After peeling his cards, Jose Criado snap-called.

Vinicius Goncalves: A♥3♥ All in
Jose Criado: K♥K♣

There was no relief from the deck for Goncalves, as the J♠6♣6♠9♦3♠ board kept the preflop standings intact, sending Goncalves to the rail.

Fabricio Nociolini Eliminated in 19th Place (€47,150)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Fabricio Nociolini
Fabricio Nociolini

Fabricio Nociolini raised to 550,000 under the gun, leaving himself 40,000 behind. It folded to Xiaosheng Zheng in the small blind, who called.

Zheng put in the last chips on the 4♠2♠5♠ flop, and Nociolini instantly called off.

Fabricio Nociolini: Q♦J♦ All in
Xiaosheng Zheng: 5♦5♣

Nociolini was drawing slim to a chop as Zheng had flopped a set. The Q♥ turn locked up the pot for Zheng, and Nociolini said his goodbyes to his former tablemates as the meaningless 8♦ river completed the board.

Alexandru Toderita Eliminated in 20th Place (€47,150)

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Alexandru Toderita
Alexandru Toderita

Joris Ruijs raised to 100,000 on the button, and Alexandru Toderita defended his big blind.

On a Q♣K♠J♣ flop, Toderita check-called when Ruijs continued for 75,000. However, when the 7♠ hit the turn, Toderita opted to check-jam, moving all-in for 705,000 after Ruijs had barreled for 250,000. Ruijs called and showed Toderita the bad news.

Alexandru Toderita: K♣3♥ All in
Joris Ruijs: A♦10♠

The 8♦ river that followed was entirely irrelevant, as Ruijs had flopped a Broadway straight, and with Toderita drawing dead, his Main Event run came to an end.

Sebastian Malec Eliminated in 21st Place (€40,050)

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Sebastian Malec
Sebastian Malec

Matas Cimbolas raised to 80,000 on the button, and Sebastian Malec called in the big blind.

On a 10♦J♠J♣ flop, Malec check-raised, making it 165,000 after Cimbolas had continued for 40,000, and Cimbolas called the raise.

Malec slowed down on the 3♦ turn, choosing to check. Cimbolas responded by betting 140,000, and Malec called.

The 7♣ completed the board, and Malec checked once again. Cimbolas fired 370,000 into the middle, and Malec check-jammed for 1,130,000. Cimbolas went deep into the tank, but after using two time extensions, he chose to call.

Malec tabled 10♥7♥ for two pair, but when Cimbolas flipped over his Q♦J♥ for trips, Malec's hunt for a second EPT Barcelona Main Event trophy was over.

Romain Lewis Eliminated in 22nd Place (€40,050)

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Xiaosheng Zheng raised to 85,000 in middle position. Romain Lewis then three-bet jammed for 625,000 in the cutoff, and Zheng called with the covering stack.

Romain Lewis: A♣J♣ All in
Xiaosheng Zheng: A♠Q♠

Zheng's kicker remained in play on the 10♦K♦9♥A♦K♥ runout, eliminating Lewis in 22nd place.

Mitch Garshofsky Eliminated in 23rd Place (€40,050)

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mitchell Garshofsky
Mitchell Garshofsky

Mitch Garshofsky moved all-in for 495,000 from the cutoff and was at risk when Jose Criado called from the small blind.

Mitch Garshofsky: 10♠10♦ All in
Jose Criado: Q♥Q♣

"At least I made two pay jumps", Garshofsky said, expecting the worst after seeing the cards.

The K♦J♦6♥ flop offered Garshofsky some backdoor opportunities, but the 3♣ turn quickly slammed that door shut. When the J♠ completed the board, it was indeed the demise of Garshofsky, whose Main Event run was over.
