The last time the European Poker Tour Main Event was held in Barcelona, there was a memorable final hand between Sebastian Malec and Uri Reichenstein, with Malec emerging triumphant.

Two years later, the pair are back for the latest EPT Barcelona Main Event and are sit just one table away from one another.

Malec opened to 400 from the cutoff and the player on the button three-bet to 1,400. Malec called and check-called 1,500 on the {j-}{9-}{3-} flop. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {8-Spades}. Malec tanked before checking, and his opponent bet 2,000. Malec snap-called.

His opponent turned over {a-}{q-} but Malec had rivered two pair with {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and he took down the pot, taking him back above starting stack after having lost a pot previously.
