Action of the Day
The day started with 99 players remaining with them all being in the money and bounties being activated. Players dropped fast and Yassine El Ouahdani collected five bounties before the first break. He tried his luck at the break and managed to secure the €75,000 bounty early in the day.
However the €100,000 eluded the players and was still up for grabs by the time of the final table. Before the later stages of the tournament Jason Wheeler was eliminated (27th- €3,480) as well as Julio Ribeiro (23rd- €4,010) who was eliminated in brutal fashion as Ezequiel Waigel rivered a set of sevens against his pocket aces.
The final started with the elimination of Mathias Duarte (9th-€10,840) who got in trouble when he slow played pocket queens against Zawadzki who turned a straight. The chips went in on the river and Duarte was eliminated. Next out was Lessa Calheiros Quintella (8th-€14,090) who started the final table second in chips but was second eliminated when his ace-queen couldn't hold against Gianluca Bernardini's queen-ten.
Emrah Yildiz lost a flip against Bernardini to be eliminated in seventh place for €18,310. Christophe Devaux (6th- €23,810) soon followed as the Frenchman as he shipped five big blind in from under the gun with jack-seven only to run into the queens of Zawadzki and the ace-jack of Bernardini to be eliminated in sixth.
Darren Rabinowitz (5th- €30,560) had been hoarding bounties all day as he saved up six before his ace-six lost to Bernardini's nine-five. Rabinowitz claimed his six bounties but was disappointed to not get his hands on the €100,000 grand prize.
Italian Bernardini (4th- €40,240) was next out in fourth when he shipped king-nine from the cutoff only to run into the queens of Zawadzki to be eliminated.
Play stopped as players drew for bounties but the €100,000 still remained. There were long talks of a deal where the remaining players who decided to ICM chop the regular prize pool as well as agreeing a gentleman's agreement to split the remaining €102,000 mystery bounty prize pool. The final three were left to play for the remaining €12,680 as well as the trophy.
Three-handed play lasted a while before Yordi Bakker (3rd- €63,764) called off Zawadzki's shove from the small blind with king-seven. He was up against Zawadzki's pocket fours and failed to hit to be eliminated in third.
Bakker's elimination set up a heads-up battle between Zawadzki and Peters. The pair battled on until Zawadzki pushed all in from the small blind and Peters called in the big. Zawadzki's ace-four held against Peters' king-ten to claim the title and his biggest live cash to date.
This concludes the PokerNews coverage for this event but follow along for all the EPT Barcelona updates.
