Michael Adamo Eliminated in 18th Place (€49,170)

[user326915]

Niveau 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Australian player Michael Addamo has been busted here in the 2016 PokerStars.es Barcelona EPT Main Event, and he went in odd fashion. Pre-flop, from middle position, Addamo bet 900,000 of his 910,000 stack. Zorlu Er only called, so when everyone else folded, the two men saw a flop.

The flop came and Zorlu Er bet to set Adamo in. Addamo took his time, knowing that should someone bust before him on another table, he would jump up a pay ladder by waiting to make the inevitable call. That ploy was stopped by Stephen Malone calling the clock, and after checking that no-one was all in at risk on the other two tables, Addamo called.

Michael Addamo:
Zorlu Er:

The turn and river sent Adamo home in 19th place, and leaves Er up to over three million chips.

Owen Mixing It Up

[user326915]

Niveau 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Adam Owen is not used to playing No Limit Hold'em. He's a mixed game specialist, whose favourite game is "220 Razz" and for whom the EPT Barcelona Main Event was a must-play for several different reasons.

"It's the best tournament in Europe. I qualified online and always planned to play the main although I love some of the mixed games here."

After the latest hand, Adam is unlikely to be playing anything else this trip other than the Main Event. Zorlu Er made it 130,000 from the hijack and Owen called from the button. The two men saw a flop of and Er led for 220,000. Adam made it 575,000 and got a call.

The turn of saw Owen checked to, and he moved all-in, easily covering Er's stack of 1.3m remaining chips. Er folded, and Owen stacked up well over 5.5m, putting him second in chips. It was after the hand that we spoke about his feelings of being a mixed game player playing out of his usual variant.

"I played the tightest I ever have yesterday on Day 4," he told us. "It's not natural to me; I like to see flops and usually, I'm priced in to do so. I was up against some really great players and felt constricted, to be honest. I was way out of my comfort zone, but I try to focus a huge amount from the moment the dealer cuts the cards, looking to my left, and seeing the players to my left who I might be invloved with."

Owen did very well at the World Series, and he's tried to bring that form here to Barcelona for the 2016 PokerStars.es EPT Main Event.

"I am used to the high buy-ins, and played them throughout the summer, so that really helps when it comes to decisions."

It's working so far. Maybe the specialist who is used to playing No Limit 'in the mix' will prove himself so adaptable as to outlast this record-breaking EPT Main Event field.

Simon Lofberg Eliminated in 22nd Place (€41,220)

[user326915]

Niveau 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Simon Lofberg open-shoved for 590,000 in the cut off, and was called only by Adnrea Cortellazzi in the small blind.

The two players were off to the races, as Cortellazzi had called with and was hoping to hold against Lofberg's . The board of gave Lofberg almost no hope and despite him pointing hopefully at the river, he couldn't hit and busts before the final two tables. Cortellazzi just doesn't seem to lose any hand right now, and that bodes extremely well for his chances.

The November Niner has left the Main Event! In a dramatic hand, we've seen Czech pro Vojtech Ruzicka eliminated, after Harcharan Dogra Dogra busted him in 24th position.

Vojtech Ruzicka:
Dogra Dogra:
