The runout felt like it was scripted in Hollywood; Jiménez picked up additional outs on the 4♣5♣2♥ flop. The Q♦ saw Cruz staying in the lead, and the K♠ sealed the deal.

The second hand of heads-up, Francisco Garrido Cruz limped the 200,000 Big Blind on the Button.

Jose Maria Nieto Martin: A♦K♥
Barbara Jiménez: Q♠Q♥

That means that the stage is now set for a heads-up showdown between Jiménez and Cruz, with Jiménez having the chip lead.

Jose Aguilera, who was the chip leader after the dinner break, has had some bad luck since then. He’s lost some small pots here and there, and then, the big one, when Jose Maria Nieto Martin doubled up against him. A lot of his chips were distributed to the other players, and he became the shortest stack.

Francisco Garrido Cruz opened to 320,000 on the button, and Barbara Jiménez called from the Small Blind. Then, Jose Agiluera moved all in for 1,795,000 from the Big Blind. Cruz let his hand go before Jiménez made the call.

Martin had the best hand with the flopped straight, and it’s an educated guess that Jiménez would’ve gotten away cheaper, wasn’t it for the 8♠ river card. She lost a considerable amount of her stack.

Ivan Ivanov moved all in for 420,000 UTG and got called by Jose Maria Nieto Martin in the Hi-jack.

Ivan Ivanov: 8♣8♦
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: 9♠9♦

No dice for Ivanov as the board spelled out 10♦Q♥3♣A♦K♠, and Ivanov was eliminated in fifteenth place for €2,000.

The board read 4♥6♦4♦ with roughly 360,000 in the middle. Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Hi-jack) bet 150,000, and Francisco Garrido Cruz (Button) made the call. Garcia continued for 250,000 on the 10♦ turn, and Cruz called once more. Garcia slowed down and checked the A♠ river; after some consideration, Cruz bet 250,000. Garcia made the call within a minute.

Cruz tabled his K♦9♦ holdings and took down the massive pot with the nut flush. Ten minutes earlier, Jack Sambrook (seventeenth, €1,650) and Dara O’Kearney (sixteenth, €1,650) were both eliminated.

Andres Herrera opened to 60,000 UTG, leaving himself with a mere 25,000 behind. Seated right next to him, qualifier Matthew Wharrie three-bet to 125,000 from the Lo-jack. Action folded back to Herrera, who made the call for his tournament life.

Matthew Wharrie: A♦K♥
Andres Herrera: A♠7♥

Herrera was dominated, and he was unable to produce a miracle on the 2♥6♦Q♠5♣2♦ board. For his twenty-first-place finish, he was awarded €1,350.

One might think this is turning into the “Dara O’Kearney Only” blog. While the Irish poker legend and this poker.pro live reporter shares a passion for long-distance running; there’s no partial shenanigans going on; the action caught has just involved him by chance.

O’Kearney checked his Big Blind after Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Small Blind) limped. Action went check-check on the 3♣10♠4♠ flop. Garcia dipped his toes in the waters with a 20,000 bet on the 7♠ turn, and O’Kearney made the call. Garcia sized up to 45,000 on the 9♥ river, and O’Kearney put in the chips for a call.

Carlos Gutierrez Garcia: J♦9♠
Dara O’Kearney: 7♦3♥

Two pairs were good, and O’Kearney took down a small one.

Carlos Gutierrez Garica: 1,400,000
Dara O’Kearney: 525,000

Eloy Cordoba open-shoved for 125,000 UTG. After receiving the county, Dara O’Kearney reshoved for roughly 260,000. Soon enough, the two were heads-up to the flop.

Eloy Cordoba: J♠8♠
Dara O’Kearney: A♠10♦

O’Kearney maintained his lead on the 5♥6♥Q♣ flop. He cemented it on the A♣ turn, and after the 4♣, he knocked out Cordoba in twenty-third place for €1,350.

Francisco Garrido Cruz min-raised to 40,000 from UTG+1. Seated in the Big Blind, Dara O’Kearney was the sole caller.

Action went check-check on the 2♥A♠9♠ flop. O’Kearney check-called a 40,000 bet from Cruz on the 6♠ turn. The Irishman checked for a third time on the J♦ river, and was then faced with an 80,000 bet from Cruz. After spending perhaps one minute in the tank, O’Kearney decided to fold. It may not sound like a massive pot, but O’Kearney did, in fact, lose a considerable amount of his stack.

Francisco Garrido Cruz: 1,230,000
Dara O’Kearney: 260,000

That means that PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez is the only player left officially representing the PartyPoker brand. With 24 players left, the floor is now conducting a redraw for the final three tables.

Fairly short-stacked Hugo Benitez opened to 180,000 from UTG+1, leaving himself with 20,000 behind. Jose Maria Nieto Martin then moved all-in for roughly 800,000 from the Hi-jack. The decision eventually came to Benyamin Canatan on the Button, who committed his 620,000 to make the call. When action was back on Benitez, he put in his last chips to make the call.

Jose Maria Nieto Martin: Q♦Q♥
Benyamin Canatan: J♠J♦
Hugo Benitez: J♥10♥

Things were looking good for Martin to score a double knockout. The 2♣7♦9♦ flop didn’t threaten his ladies. The turn was the 10♦, and for good measure, Martin improved to a set on the Q♣ river. As such, he sent two players to the rail and improved his stack significantly.

Jose Maria Nieto Martin: 1,650,000

Hugo Benitez: 0

Action folded to Antonio Ramon Munoz, who min-raised to 32,000 on the Button. When the decision was on Irish poker legend Annette O’Carroll, she peeked at her hole cards, did the math in her head, then moved all in for 180,000 on the dot. Munoz made the call without hesitation.

Annette O’Carroll: A♣8♥
Antonio Ramon Munoz: J♣J♦

“That’s bad news for me,” O’Carroll declared as she saw Munoz’s hand. The Poker Gods were looking out for O’Carroll, though; she took a commanding lead on the 6♥8♠8♣ flop, and the Q♥Q♣ runout sealed the deal. With a full house, she doubled through Munoz.

Antonio Ramon Munoz: 538,000

Bulgaria’s Ivan Ivanov opened to 25,000 from the Cut-off and was then faced with a 90,000 three-bet from Francisco Garrido Cruz in the Big Blind. Ivanov snap-called the raise.

Cruz pondered for a minute before continuing for 50,000 on the 3♥A♠8♠ flop. Again, Ivanov made the call faster than the speed of lightning. Cruz checked the 5♠ turn, and Ivanov checked back within a split second. The exact same scenario played out on the J♠ river.

Francisco Garrido Cruz: K♦J♦
Ivan Ivanov: A♣Q♣

Maybe Ivanov has somewhere to be and wanted to speed up the game. Hopefully for him, it’s going to be a long night until he reaches the final table.

2024 EPT Paris Main Event winner Barny Boatman opened to 25,000 on the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Jack Sambrook three-bet to 65,000. Back to Boatman, then, who four-bet to 125,000, leaving himself with 40,000 behind. Sambrook forced his opponent all-in for 175,000 in total, and Boatman, naturally, made the call.

Jack Sambrook: Q♠Q♣
Barny Boatman: A♠J♠

Boatman was trailing. He picked up a straight draw on the Q♣K♣5♥, while Sambrook improved to a set. Boatman was left drawing dead on the K♦ turn; the A♣ river was dealt for ceremonial reasons. With his full house, Sambrook eliminated Boatman in forty-third place for €1,000.

Action folded to Geron Dalipi, who opened to 16,000 on the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Andres Herrera three-bet to 50,000, and Dalipi made the call.

Herrera continued with a 45,000 bet on the 7♥3♦Q♠ flop. After a minute’s worth of pondering, Dalipi moved all in for 215,000. Herrera made the call faster than you could say “Vamos rápido,” and soon, the players were given the green light by the floor to turn over their cards.

Geron Dalipi: Q♥J♣
Andres Herrera: Q♣3♥

Herrera was way ahead with two-pair, and Dalipi didn’t manage to catch up as the board completed with 6♣8♠. As such, Dalipi became the unfortunate bubble boy, going out in fifty-sixth place. As he exited the tournament area, the remaining players could breathe a sigh of relief; they’ve now secured a €1,000 min-cash.

Matthew Warrie made it 16,000 UTG. Seated in the Small Blind, Rodrigo Araujo was the sole caller.

Araujo check-called a 16,000 bet from Warrie on the 7♣K♣4♥ flop. Action went check-check on the K♠ turn, and on the J♣, it was Araujo who claimed the driver’s seat, as he bet 45,000. After some consideration, Warrie made the call.

Rodrigo Araujo: A♠Q♣
Matthew Warrie: A♥Q♦

A nice hero call from Warrie, but it only earned him 50% of the pot. PartyPoker Team Pro is seated at the same table, enjoying a good book.

Geron Dalipi opened to 12,000 from the Hi-jack. He got two customers: Carlos Gutierrez Garcia called from the Small Blind, and Ruben Perez Correa joined the fun from the Big Blind.

Action was checked to Dalipi on the 9♦K♥3♥ flop, and he continued for 10,000. Garcia called before Correa got out of the way. Garcia check-called a 16,000 bet from Dalipi on the 7♥ turn, and the dealer then revealed the A♠ river. Garcia checked again, and Dalipi now bet 22,000. After two minutes’ worth of consideration, Garcia made the call. Dalipi turned over 3♠3♣ for a flopped set, and Garcia acknowledged the strength of his opponent’s hand.

The €500 Main Event is now down to 58 players, meaning three more will go out before the 55 remaining are all guaranteed a €1,000 min-cash.

Matthew Warrie min-raised to 12,000 from the Hi-jack before Jose Aguilera made it 36,000 to go from the Cut-off. Christopher Lamb made the call from the Button, and Warrie then mucked.

Aguilera put out a 20,000 continuation bet on the 7♥2♥2♠ flop, and Lamb wasted little time before raising to 50,000. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Augilera forced his opponent all in for 295,000 in total. Lamb looked visibly troubled, and after considering his options for a good three minutes, he folded, revealing his K♥K♣ holdings. Aguilera looked surprised over the fold; he turned over his hand, Q♥10♥, before raking in the pot.

Jose Aguilera: 835,000
Christopher Lamb: 245,000

The remaining 68 players in Day 2 of the €500 Main Event are now on a 25-minute break. Just before the break, a big hand played out at Table 24.

Adrian Creagh opened to 10,000 from the Lo-jack. Daniel Ciancio then three-bet to 30,000 from the Cut-off. Next, Gonzalo Rodriguez four-bet shoved for roughly 160,000. As if things weren’t already crazy enough, Dara O’Kearney then five-bet shoved, having Rodriguz covered. Creagh folded, and so did Ciancio, albeit after spending at least four minutes in the tank.

Gonzalo Rodriguez: A♦K♣
Dara O’Kearney: K♠K♦

Rodriguez was in rough shape, and he didn’t manage to find an ace or any other help as the board spelled out 4♠K♥Q♥4♥10♥. As such, he was eliminated, and O’Kearney secured a very respectable stack right before the break.

Dara O’Kearney: 500,000
Gonzalo Rodriguez: 0

Prizes:	€170,435

Luke Bird limped UTG. Carlos Alonso made the call from the Small Blind before PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez checked from the Big Blind.

After an initial check from Alonso on the A♣K♥7♣ flop, Jiménez dipped her toes in the waters with a 10,000 bet. This was enough to scare both of her opponents away.

Not an exciting hand at all; this poker.pro live reporter just wanted an excuse to say that Jiménez has a very good stack.

Barbara Jiménez: 468,000

Level 14:	2,000/5,000 (5,000)
Entries:	77/383
Prizes:	€170,435

Jose Maria Rodriguez opened to 10,000 from the Hi-jack. Lucia Antunes put out a 30,000 three-bet from the Button, and Rodriguez then moved all in for 85,000. Antunes made the call.

Jose Maria Rodriguez: 10♥10♦
Lucia Antunes: A♦K♠

It was a classic coin flip situation, and Rodriguez’s pocket pair stood the test of time, as the board spelled out 9♠7♣4♥J♣7♥. He received a full double-up at the expense of Antunes.

Lucia Antunes: 195,000
Jose Maria Rodriguez: 182,000

PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Niall “Firaldo” Farrell is out of the €500 Main Event. He’s the second ambassador to hit the rail today, as Barry Carter was the first one. Time will tell how Firaldo decides to spend the rest of his night.

After finding a set of queens against his opponent’s aces, PartyPoker Team Pro Jaime Staples is now up to 440,000. The last time this poker.pro live reporter visited his table, he was playing around 150,000, so it seems like things are picking up for the Canadian now.

Jaime Staples: 440,000

Francisco Huelva opened to 8,000 UTG. Niall “Firaldo” Farrell is watching the football on his phone, but he decided to play some poker as well, as he defended his Big Blind.

Firaldo check-called a 10,000 bet from Huelve on the 3♠8♠6♥ flop. Action repeated itself on the 8♦ turn, the only difference being that Huelva now sized up to 25,000. Both players checked the 3♦ river.

Firaldo turned over A♦3♥ for a rivered full house and improved his stack by 50%.

Niall “Firaldo” Farrell: 152,000

Poker legend/The Hendon Mob founder Barny Boatman opened to 8,000 from the Button. Lampros Proimos decided to dance with Boatman, as he called from the Big Blind.

Proimons check-called a 5,000 bet from Boatman on the 3♥Q♥J♣ flop. Both players checked the Q♣ turn and the 8♥ river. First to show, Proimos turned over 9♣8♦, and Boatman sighed as he mucked his hand.

Lampros Proimos: 122,000
Barny Boatman: 110,000

PartyPoker Team Pro Jaime Staples opened to 7,000 UTG. Collette Stewart made the call from the Lo-jack, and the two of them were soon heads-up to the flop. “Watch out, Collette, I’ve got a monster,” Staples informed his combatant. “Shut up,” Stewart joked with her old friend, and the table shared a laugh.

Staples check-called a 7,000 bet from Stewart on the 6♣A♠3♠ flop. “There it is!” Staples screamed in joy as the dealer revealed the 9♥ turn. Yet, he decided to check, and Stewart checked behind. Staples checked for a third time on the 7♦ river, and Stewart bet 20,000. “Show the bluff,” Staples urged his opponent while throwing his cards in the middle. Stewart turned over the 3♥ as she raked in the pot.

Collette Stewart: 628,000
Jaime Staples: 192,000

Ivan Monje opened to 7,000 UTG. Kevin Moreno made the call from UTG+1, before PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barry Carter three-bet to 25,000 from the Cut-off. Monje and Moreno both decided to make the call.

Action was checked to Carter on the J♠4♣9♠ flop, and after doing the math, he moved all-in for what this poker.pro live reporter estimated to be 180,000. Monje called faster than the speed of lightning before Moreno mucked.

Barry Carter: K♥K♦
Ivan Monje: 4♦4♠

Unfortunate from Carter, and the Q♥7♥ offered no consolation. As such, he became the first PartyPoker Tour Ambassador to bid farewell from Day 2 of the €500 Main Event.

Ivan Monje: 550,000
Barry Carter: 0

UTG, Francisco Huelva min-raised to 6,000. Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Hi-jack), Jonathan Rees (Small Blind), and PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Niall “Firaldo” Farrell (Big Blind) all made the call.

Rees fancied an 11,000 donk bet on the 8♠4♥3♣ flop, and Huelva was the sole caller. Rees kept going on the 10♣ turn with a 20,000 bet. Huelva stuck around, and the action then went check-check on the 10♦ river.

Rees turned over J♦8♦, and Huelva’s cards hit the muck.

Francisco Huelva: 190,000
Jonathan Rees: 176,000

Blaise Bourgeois opened to 6,000 from the Lo-jack. Seated in the Small Blind, Luke Bird three-bet to 13,000. Bourgeois made the call.

Bird continued on the aggressive path with a 22,000 continuation bet on the 4♣Q♦3♥ flop, and Bourgeois made the call. On the 10♥ turn, Bird snap-shoved, effectively forcing Bourgeois all-in for 86,000. Without Hesitation, Bourgeois made the call.

Luke Bird: 2♠2♦
Blaise Bourgeois: Q♥10♠

A dream scenario for Bourgeois, but poker can be a brutal game at times. The 2♥ river sawe Bird improving to bottom set, and as such, Bourgeois became one of the earlier casualties in Day 2.

Luke Bird: 256,000
Blaise Bourgeois: 0
