Welcome to Day 2 of the PokerStars.es EPT13 Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller
At 12.30 p.m. local time, Day 2 of the PokerStars.es EPT13 Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller will get underway with 57 players out of a 89-entry strong field remaining.
Thus far there were 73 unique players and 16 reentries, however, both of these numbers may still increase and the 99 entries of last year may be eclipsed with the registration being open until 15 minutes prior to the restart. The table redraw and the prize pool information will be published once the registration is officially closed.
After yesterday's eight levels of 80 minutes each, Germany's Julian Stuer bagged up the most chips with 1,350,000 followed by German wunderkind Fedor Holz (1,150,000) and France's Jean-Noel Thorel (1,075,000) claims the last spot on the overnight podium.
Timothy Adams was among the big stacks for most of Day 1 and advanced with 877,000 before a big gap emerges to the likes of Adrian Mateos (566,000), Erik Seidel (552,000) and €10,000 High Roller winner Nick Petrangelo (496,000). The defending champion of this very event and former November Niner, Sylvain Loosli, bagged up 404,000.
The penultimate day of the most expensive event of the festival at the Casino Barcelona has another 10 levels of 60 minutes scheduled or until the final table of the last eight is reached, whichever of the two comes first. Action will resume with level nine with blinds of 3,000/6,000 and a running ante of 1,000, and the PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to provide all the action until a winner is crowned on Monday, August 22nd.
