May 02, 2014 It's Day 2 in London and 13-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth is the centre of attention at the feature table. May 10, 2011 On day 3 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Grand Final main event, 80 players went hurtling out the main doors of the Gran Casino in Madrid, leaving just 24 behind. They are led.
The PokerStars European Poker Tour Snowfest had to lose a total of 57 players on day 3 to get down to three tables, but the field only had to lose nine to reach the money. The slopes and chalets.
The day was filled with highs and lows for many familiar faces, and as it progressed the field changed drastically. While big names plummeted towards the rail, German PokerStars qualifier Giuseppe Pantaleo did the exact opposite. Twenty-two-year-old Pantaleo, who won the Sunday Warm-Up earlier this year, started the day with 622,500 in chips and ended it with an enormous 2.3 million for chip leader. His final lump sum came from Thomas Finneran when he called the Irishman’s all in with A-8 versus A-7 respectively. An eight dropped on the river and sent Finneran home in 25th place for €17,000, closing play for the day.
It was a tough flurry of levels particularly for start of day chip leader Bryn Kenney, who had a short-stacked Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier to his left. Things were only going to get more difficult when the Frenchman doubled his ammo, but up to that point Kenney had recovered successfully from quite a few early hits to his stack. That was until he ran head first into Alessandro Longobardi’s rivered straight.
Disbelieving Longobardi’s check-raise (from 44,500 to 144,500) on a board showing Q 10 8 4 K, Kenney made the call only to see the Italian reveal A J. Longobardi had needed the K on the river for a royal flush, however the K gave him a straight, which was enough to win the large pot.
Kenney dropped to the 350,000 mark, but wasn’t going to take it lying down. With plenty of chips in the middle and the action reaching the river on a board showing 8 4 2 10 5 Kenney bet 72,000 and Marco Bognanni raised it up to 186,000. Kenney made the call and showed 8 7 to scoop the pot away from a bluffing Bognanni and his J-3.
Later in the day however, Kenney made a bluff of his own which cost him his tournament life as after moving all in with a missed flush draw, Thor Stang called with top pair, sending the American out of the event in 32nd place for €17,000.
Others who hit the rail throughout the day were Carlos Mortensen, Leo Margets, EPT Grand Final winner Nicolas Chouity, Per Linde, and Roberto Romanello, plus Team PokerStars Pro members Alex Gomes, Ruben Visser, Leo Fernandez, Matthias de Meulder, and ElkY.
ElkY’s last stand came when he bet 22,000 from under the gun and Jesus Cortes Lizano raised to 50,000. ElkY then made it 160,000, and after a moment of thought, Lizano moved all in. ElkY called but winced when he saw Lizano table A A. The Frenchman revealed Q Q and the board came 10 10 4 5 2 putting Grospellier out in 56th place for €13,000.
Both ElkY and Kenney’s destroyers now sit among the top 10, which is mostly made up of Italians and Spaniards.

EPT Barcelona Main Event Coverage:
The PokerStarsEuropean Poker Tour Snowfest had to lose a total of 57 players on day 3 to get down to three tables, but the field only had to lose nine to reach the money.
The slopes and chalets of Saalbach-Hinterglemm acted as a backdrop to a crucial day for many. Firstly, the hopes for a double winner were sliced in half when Team PokerStars Pro player Sebastian Ruthenberg hit the rail just outside of the money bracket.
It was Pontus Nima Khosravi who did the job nobody wanted to do and popped the money bubble, leaving in 73rd place with a consolation prize from Florian Wolf, co-owner of the Alpine Palace Hotel. Khosravi can now only look forward to the distraction of a helicopter ride around the Austrian Alps, that is unless he hops into a side event.
Not too long after his departure, when the event had lost just six players, the chance of a double title, and in fact a back-to-back title, was lost. After attempting to recover from a damaging run-in with Vladimir Geshkenbein and his A-K, Michael Tureniec found himself up against A-K once again after a four-bet shove all in, this time it was versus Morten Mortensen. Tureniec turned over Q J but the board brought no love and he busted in 65th place for a €5,250 min-cash.
Fatima Moreira de Melo followed the Swede out shortly after when her A-Q missed the board versus Philip Meulyzer and his pocket deuces, which were enough to put the PokerStars Team pro out in 56th place for €6,000, her first EPT main event cash.
Many had high hopes for her fellow team-mate Luca Pagano with the Italian kicking off the day seventh in chips, however he was knocked out in 51st place for €6,000, which also means he falls just short of reclaiming the top spot of the EPT All-Time leader board, which currently belongs to fellow team pro Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier.
Pagano bet 15,000 from early position and the big blind Domantas Klimciauskas moved all in. Pagano thought about it and eventually moved the rest of his stack in. It was A-K that fired the fatal shot once again in the event, as Pagano’s K Q could not improve. Pagano can celebrate one thing however, his record-smashing 18th EPT cash.
The sole Team PokerStars pro left among the 24 heading into day 4 is Alex Kravchenko. The Russian’s deepest run on the Tour was at EPT Baden in 2007, so it could be said he is extremely hungry for the €390,000 first-place prize he has managed to close in on so far. He sat in 16th place in chips at close of play with 379,000. His neighbour on the leader board is day 1A chip leader Martins Adeniya. The Brit ended the day in 15th place with 402,000.
But that’s a long way off the stack of the player making the most waves throughout the day. Giacomo Maisto caught Domantas Klimciauskas bluffing on the river of a board reading 5 5 3 J 8. Klimciauskas moved all in for the best part of 300,000 and after some thought, Maisto called with Q J. It was an important pot for the Italian as he improved his stack to 1.4 million.
Not too long after this big hand, Maisto was at it again. This time against Pieter Druif. The Italian held A-10 and was up against the pocket jacks of Druif, who he had well covered. All the money went in on the 10 7 5 flop, but it wasn’t to be for Druif as the turn came the 10 and the river brought the icing on the cake, the A.
Play came to an end soon after and Maisto was confirmed chip leader with just over 1.5 million.
Here is the top 10 going into day 4:
Giacomo Maisto (Italy) 1,548,000
Iulian Ruxandescu (Romania) 1,281,000
