The PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona stop has been filled with exciting action and famous players competing on the felt every day. Today’s Day 1 of the €10,300 EPT High Roller was no different. A total of 386 players made their way to Casino Barcelona for Day 1, and just 156 remain.
After ten levels and ten hours of play, it is Canadian high roller Sam Greenwood leading the chip counts with 405,500. In second place is Paul Runcan (346,500) and rounding out the podium in third place is Enrico Camosci (313,000)
Players retain the opportunity to enter or re-enter until the start of Day 2 at 12:30 p.m. local time on September 7. Therefore, it is yet to be seen whether or not last year’s field of 475 will be surpassed. Last year, more than 40 players registered at the last possible moment.

The Day's Action
There was intense action and large pots from the very first shuffle. In Level 2, high roller regular Vladimir Korzinin was the first to hit the rail. He lost a massive pot with pocket sixes against the queens of Victoria Livschitz. A couple hands later, he was eliminated after flopping middle pair against the top pair of Tom Middleton.
Later, Brock Wilson picked up pocket kings only to run into the aces of Milos Skrbic, However, in dramatic fashion, the king of clubs fell on the turn to give Wilson top set as he eliminated Skrbic.
In another cooler scenario, Nacho Barbero turned bottom set in a three-bet pot against Marius Kudzmanas. Unfortunately for Barbero, Kudzmanas had flopped top set and all of the chips found their way into the middle by the river as Barbero was sent to the rebuy desk.
Barbero was not the only player to be eliminated via set over set. Quan Zhou also hit the rail on his first bullet after he rivered a set of fours against Nichan Khorchidian. Zhou’s set was no good, however, against the flopped top set of Khorchidian, who slow-played his hand but got maximum value on the river.
Sam Greenwood rapidly rose to the top of the chip counts as the day progressed. He eliminated the first bullet of Cherish Andrews after raising the river with the nut flush on a paired board. Andrews ended up making the call with a lesser flush which sent a massive pot toward Greenwood.
American pro and #1 ranked GPI player Jesse Lonis continued his strong play here in Barcelona on his way to a bag of 90,500. He made a great hero-call with second pair against the bluff of Malcolm Franchi in a pot of over 150,000.
Late in the day, Benjamin Spragg fell victim to the ever-popular “value bluff”. He hero-called the river with ace-ten-high only to lose to the ace-jack-high Adam Martinsson, who humorously dragged the pot while bluffing with the best hand.
Day 2 commences at 12:30 p.m. local time on September 7 at Casino Barcelona. The action will resume in Level 11 with blinds at 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 big blind ante. Registration will close at the start of play. Levels are 50 minutes in length for Day 2.

: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Georgi Sandev raised to 3,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 10,000 by Candido Cappiello on the button. Sandev called and check-called Cappielo's continuation-bet of 5,500 on the K♦4♥5♦ flop.
The J♠ turn was then checked through before Sandev led out for 5,000. Cappielo called and was shown 9♠9♣ by Sandev.
Sandev's pair of nines were good as Cappiello's cards hit the muck, and the pot was shipped the Bulgarian's way.

Patrik Jaros raised his button to 2,500, being three-bet to 8,100 by Michael Dwyer in the small blind. Jaros called to the 10♦3♥3♦ flop, where he called Dwyer's continuation-bet of 6,500.
Dwyer then promptly shoved all in on the 2♣ turn, covering the 49,400 chips of Jaros. Jaros sighed, used a time bank, and then called for his tournament life.
Patrik Jaros: 9♠9♣
Michael Dwyer: A♦K♣
Dwyer was down to six outs, which did not come on the 6♦ river. He doubled up Jaros to a six-figure stack, while Dwyer had to make do with 11 big blinds.

In a blind versus blind battle, Mark Teltscher bet 2,500 on a flop of 10♥7♣K♦ and Brandon Leetz raised to 7,500. "No bluffs. I want to make it to Day 2," Leetz said as Teltscher called.
Both players checked the J♣ turn and the river was the 10♣. Leetz then bet 12,000 and Teltscher again called.
"Bon appetite," Leetz said, immediately tossing his cards into the muck.
"This was a hero play," Teltscher said as he showed 9♣9♠. "That's a hell of a call on the flop. That was not easy," he added.

Ren Lin opened the button to 2,500 and Yaroslav Ohulchanskiy called in the small blind before Igor Pihela three-bet to 6,900 from the big blind. Only Lin called.
On the J♣10♥10♦ flop, Pihela continued for 10,000 and Lin called.
The 6♣ fell on the turn. Pihela again bet 10,000, Lin min-raised to 20,000, and Pihela called.
The river was the Q♥. Pihela opted to lead for 15,000, Lin raised to 36,000, and Pihela called. Lin tabled K♦10♠ for flopped trips which were good enough to drag a sizeable pot late in the day.
