Lopez falls in 3rd

Pablo Baldor and Jose Maria Somolinos will go heads-up for the remaining €4,000 prize money plus the prestigious PPT Madrid trophy.

The field was finally reduced to two as Jose Luiz Lopez lost two all-ins in quick succession, but he will be comforted by his €22,300 score.

The flambouyant Spaniard had first made the call with QJ after Somolinos shoved pre-flop holding A7, but there was no help for him on the board.

And it was the same again just moments later, his final hand - A3o - trailing Baldur's A9o and failing to connect with a saviour.
