Nine Left; Seven Cash - But Only One Winner!
With no late eliminations yesterday, the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona €100,000 Super High Roller enters its final day just two spots off the money with nine players remaining.
A min-cash is worth €275,050 and several players were already eyeing that figure up last night, with cagey play and very few called all-ins meaning the average stack has dwindled to just over twenty big blinds as we start Day 3.
The players in the danger zone include Frenchman Benjamin Pollak, Canadian Jean Ferreira and American Byron Kaverman, all of whom have stacks less than 15 big blinds.
At the other end of the spectrum, Matthias Eibinger is the only player over three million, with Mikita Badziakouski and Day 1 chip leader Ahadpur Khangah breathing down his neck.
