€10,200 No-Limit Hold'em
Giorno 1 completo
Although there are just a handful of events left in the 2024 European Tour Barcelona, plenty of high-stakes players have remained and are eager to play in the biggest tournaments available here at Casino Barcelona.
As expected, many of them found their way over to €10,200 No-Limit Hold'em. After a quick Day 1 that attracted 36 entries, Dongwoo Ko emerged as the overall chip leader of the 16 remaining players after bagging 398,000. Not far behind him is Jan Eric Schwippert with 380,000, and rounding out the top three is Andrey Andreev, who managed to end with 322,000.
Ko won his first Spadie just a few short days ago after besting an 18-entry field in the €5,200 8-Game event, which included some top talent such as Benny Glaser and Mike Watson. The Canadian pro is also riding high off of his momentum from a victory in the WPT Montreal Championship earlier this year, in which he cinched a career-best score for $319,216.

Finnish poker pro Juha Helppi, who made a late appearance at EPT Barcelona, hopped into the mix and got off to a hot start after doubling with jacks in just the second level. Helppi's stack continued to trend upward for the rest of the day through well-timed value bets and aggressive play and he ended with 314,000 — good for fourth place overall heading into Day 2.
Stoyan Madanzhiev managed to bag a top-ten stack, thanks in part to making a sick hero call with ten-high against Arthur Conan's counterfeited pair toward the end of play.
Faring less well was Ren Lin, who joined the fray about half way through Day 1 and wasted no time getting involved in pots. Lin had a couple bluffs picked off and suffered some beats en route to busting two bullets before calling it a night.
Samuel Ju also had a night to forget and ended up dusting three bullets, including one where he got coolered by Ko in a full-house over full-house setup.
Other players who entered, but fell short include Franck Makaci, Michel Molenaar, Marcelo Bonanata and Teun Mulder.
All players who failed to bag still have until the start of play on Day 2 to reenter, at which point late registration will close. The action is set to resume tomorrow, September 8, at noon local time and play down until a winner.

The remaining 16 players are now bagging and tagging for the evening.
Stay tuned for a recap of Day 1.
Stoyan Madanzhiev raised the button to 8,000 and Arthur Conan defended his big blind.
On the J♣Q♦5♣ flop, Conan check-called a bet of 10,000 from Madanzhiev.
Both checked the Q♥ turn to see the J♠ drop on the river. Conan led out with a bet of 50,000, then Madanzhiev used some extra time before he made the call.
Conan showed 5♦2♦ for a counterfeited pair, and Madanzhiev showed 10♠9♦ and won the pot with ten-high.

Three ways on a flop of J♠J♦4♠, Jeremie Zouari checked from the small blind and Samuel Ju checked from the big blind to Dongwoo Ko, who bet 7,000. Both Zouari and Ju called.
Action checked to Ko again on the 4♥ turn and he barreled 14,000 into the middle. This time, only Ju called.
The Q♦ completed the board and Ju checked a final time. Ko announced he was all in — sending Ju deep into the tank.
"Do you have the jack?" Ju muttered as he contemplated his decision.
Eventually, Ju put in his last 67,000 and Ko turned over A♣J♥ for jacks-full. Ju showed he held Q♣4♣ for an inferior full house and was eliminated.

The floor have announced that five more hands will be played tonight, then the survivors will bag up their chips ready for Day 2.
Dongwoo Ko opened to 8,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Ren Lin, who called all in for his remaining stack without looking from the big blind.
Ren Lin: K♠2♥
Dongwoo Ko: Q♦10♣
Lin turned his cards up one by one and found himself a slight favorite with his king.
However, the A♣3♥3♠6♣Q♣ runout paired Ko's queen on the end and Lin surrendered the rest of his chips.

Arthur Conan opened the hijack to 8,000 and Juha Helppi three-bet from the cutoff to 22,000. Jules Dickerson was sat in the small blind and cold four-bet to 53,000, which got a quick fold out of Conan.
Helppi sat motionless for a while then shoved for around 250,000. Dickerson looked at his cards then immediately folded.

Action folded around to the blind, where Sven Andersson limped from the small blind and Teun Mulder shoved from the big blind.
Andersson quickly called all in for 61,000 total to put himself at risk and a showdown was held.
Sven Andersson: 6♦6♠
Teun Mulder: A♦4♣
The 7♣9♠9♥J♥8♣ runout kept Andersson ahead with his pair and he was awarded the double up.
