Jose Maria Felices eliminated in 2nd place (€28,000)

The final hand of PPT Barcelona and PPT Season 2 ended in comedy fashion. Since a deal was already struck for all the money Jose Maria Felices was in the mood to gamble and end the heads-up battle as soon as possible.

He was on the button and raised to 1,000,000 (blinds 30,000/60,000) before Aleksandar Abutovic moved all-in. Felices had committed nearly half his stack so called off the rest. He was in very bad shape though.

Felices: 3s4d
Abutovic: JcJd

The board ran 8s7hks 5c 2s. Felices actually picked up a straight draw on the turn but it failed to come in. He offered his hand to his opponent before taking a step back and allowing him to take the plaudits.

Abutovic gets there to double

Aleksandar Abutovic got his chips in on a draw on the flop and got instant service on the turn to double-up to around three million chips.

The flop was 9-7-6 and Abutovic held king-eight. Jose Maria Felices called the all-in push with ace-nine for top pair, top kicker. The turn came a T to make the German a straight.

A few minutes later the level came to an end and the players are taking a short break.

Another deal struck

Another deal has been struck for the €10,000 left over for the winner.

Jose Maria Felices had ground out a 3,180,000 to 1,480,00 chip lead before he offered Aleksandar Abutovic €2,000 out of the €10,000 with him taking €8,000. His German opponent accepted the deal so the two players are playing for the title and trophy now.

Pawel Jaskolski eliminated in 3rd place (€20,000)

Moments after the deal was struck, Pawel Jaskolski (pictured) and Jose Maria Felices both committed their stacks preflop.

Jaskolski was in great shape with pocket jacks versus Felices' king-ten. The Pole started doing a merry dance when the flop fell A-J-2 to make him a set.

The turn came a safe 3 before the river fell a Q to see Felices hit his gutshot for a Broadway straight.

This crippled the Pole and he was out the very next hand.

Let's make a deal

The three remaining players have, after a lot of discussion, agreed to do a deal. Here's what they agreed on:

Aleksandar Abutovic is guaranteed €25,000.
Jose Maria Felices is guaranteed €20,000.
Pawel Jaskolski is guaranteed €20,000.

That leaves €10,000 that the winner will take home.

Queen is certainly good for Jaskolski

Pawel Jaskolski is back in the hunt for the PPT Barcelona title after doubling through Jose Maria Felices.

He open shoved for 660,00 from the button with QdTh and was called by the last remaining Spaniard from the big blind with Ah5s.

"Queen is good," said Jaskolski just before the flop came QcTs9h to give him a queen, and a ten for good measure.

He needed that second pair too as the turn came As before the board was completed with the 4c.

David Motoro eliminated in 4th place (€12,000)

We were unsure whether or not we would ever reach three handed play but now that worry is behind us with the elimination of Davis Motoro.

He three-bet all-in for around 500,000 from the big blind after a button open to 165,000 from Aleksandr Abutovic. The German took a moment and then called to create a showdown.

Motoro: 3c3s
Abutovic: AhKd

The board ran Ac5cQh 4h 8d to pair Abutovic's ace.

Here's how the chip counts look (roughly) heading into three handed play:

Aleksandr Abutovic -- 2,000,000
Jose Maria Felices -- 1,900,000
Pawel Jaskolski -- 700,000
