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.
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♣
Xiaosheng Zheng: A♠Q♠
Zheng's kicker remained in play on the 10♦K♦9♥A♦K♥ runout, eliminating Lewis in 22nd place.
Michael Dwyer raised to 85,000 from middle position, and Fabricio Nociolini defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned the 7♥10♦Q♥ flop, and Nociolini started with a check. Dwyer fired a continuation-bet of 65,000 and was met by a check-raise to 175,000 from Nociolini. Dwyer elected to call.
A board-pairing 7♦ joined the turn, and Nociolini led for 130,000. Again, Dwyer called.
Nociolini shoved upon seeing the 4♦ river, and Dwyer snap-called for his remaining 390,000.
Nociolini showed top two with Q♣10♣, but it was second best to the boat of Dwyer holding 10♠10♥, and Dwyer doubled.
Edward Pak raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, and Joris Ruijs defended his big blind. After the 6♥10♣3♦ flop was checked through, Ruijs bet 55,000 on the 2♠ turn.
Pak called to the 9♦ river, where both players quickly checked it to showdown. Ruijs revelead 4♥2♥ for a pair of deuces, enough to win him the pot as Pak mucked.
Jonas ten Cate raised to 80,000 in the cutoff with K♣7♣. Gerard Carbo was on the button, and he three-bet Q♥Q♦ to 230,000. Ten Cate responded with a four-bet to 480,000, but Carbo did not deem it enough and five-bet jammed.
Ten Cate quickly gave up his cards, chipping up Carbo without showdown.
Jose Criado raised to 85,000 in the hijack, and John Juanda called in the big blind.
On a A♦2♣3♥ flop, Juanda check-called a bet of 60,000, but when Criado barreled for 225,000 on the J♣ turn, Juanda check-folded.
Nicolas Chouity raised to 80,000 from the cutoff, and one seat to his left, Joris Ruijs, three-bet to 200,000. When the action folded back to Chouity, he quickly folded.
The very next shuffle, Chouity got back on the horse, raising to 80,000 again, this time from the hijack. Toni Kaukua was the only caller, defending his big blind.
The 8♥10♣K♥ flop saw Kaukua check before folding when Chouity continued for 75,000.
Vasyl Pidhrusnyi raised under the gun to 80,000 and was instantly three-bet to 240,000 by Alexandru Toderita in the next position. Pidhrusnyi called when it got back to him.
Pidhrusnyi check-called the continuation-bet of 130,000 by Toderita on the 6♣6♦5♣ flop.
The 3♦ turn checked through for the 5♥ to complete the board. Pidhrusnyi bet 50,000 and Toderita quickly called.
Pidhrusnyi showed an overpair with 10♠10♦ to win the pot, as Toderita mucked.
