Swedish Kent Lundmark took down the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona main event.
The chipleader was Giuseppe Pantaleo at the 8-handed final table of the EPT Barcelona €5,300 Main Event but the favourite was WSOP champion Konstantin Puchkov.
EPT7 Barcelona Final Table Stacks
Game started at blind level 27 (5,000/30,000/60,000) and already about half an hour into the game the first elimination took place. Shortstack Francesco Notaro went all-in against Pantaleo and, although doubling up in a narrow situation, he soon played it down to the showdown with Jesus Cortes Lizano. Notaro had A:s K:d while Lizano held A:c Q:s. The river being a queen on an otherwise neutral board, he eliminated Notaro.
A couple of hands later, Georgios Skotadis’ Ts were ruined by Thor Stang’s pocket jacks, sending him to the rail in seventh place. Lundmark then eliminated Stang, Pantaleo, Shander De Vries and Puchkov, too, leaving Lizano left for heads-up.

Constantly increasing his lead, Lundmark went all-in in the end with A:h Q:h, which Lizano called with K:s J:d. The board fell 9:d 9:c 7:s 5:s A:s; with two pairs, Lundmark won the €825,000 first prize as well as his first live event title ever.
