€10,300 EPT High Roller
Dia 2 Concluído
Day 2 of the €10,300 High Roller was a tumultuous one with tons of EPT poker action to keep any poker fan satisfied. The day began with 246 players remaining from Day 1 and 25 late entries joined in at the start of the day to create a total number of entries of 271 which generated a prizepool of €2,628,700.
After ten levels of play, the field was cut all the way down to 23 players who were left standing as the dust settled. Leading the way at the end was Andriy Lyubovetskiy of Ukraine who bagged the chip lead with 1,272,000. He is the winner of one EPT title already in his career from 2017 and has nearly a million in career earnings. He gained a large amount of chips in the final few levels of the day to take his chip stack to the top of the leaderboard
Right on his tail in second place in chips was none other than Adrian Mateos who finished just a smidgeon behind with 1,265,000. Mateos is of course one of the most successful poker players in the world and has four EPT titles amongst his multiple career accolades. Mateos won several big hands late in the day, including one where he knocked out Dominik Nitsche with kings over queens.

After the top two stacks there is a drop off to third where Conor Beresford sits with 958,000. Beresford was on the right and wrong end of some coolers at the end of the day but was able to make enough profit off of them to gather an impressive stack.
Mike Watson (883,000) and Renan Bruschi (742,000) rounded out the top five stacks at the end of the day.
Several other well known players make up the final 23, including Niall Farrell who bagged a middling mount of 512,000 and Kenny Hallaert who was on the shorter end with 333,000.
The late entries created many short stacks in play to start the day and caused a lot of action from the beginning. The eliminations would go steadily all day as several players hit the rail such as; Ole Schemion, Martin Kabrhel and start of day big stack Thi Xoa Nguyen.
As expected, play would slow down as the large bubble approached as the players had to be warned to not tank as early as five players off the bubble. But a series of big coolers burst the bubble a bit more quickly than expected, with the final one being when Georgios Karakousis was eliminated as the bubble boy when his pocket kings were cracked by a turned set of sevens. After the money was reached, the eliminations came fast as the field was trimmed nearly in half in the span of two levels to make for the final surviving 23, all of whom will be gunning of the top prize of €527,070.
Day 3 will begin at 12:30 local time at Level 21 with blinds at 8,000/16,000 and a 16,000 big blind ante.
PokerNews will have all the action as this exciting event reaches its zenith.

Vlad Darie moved all in preflop over a raise from Ferhat Duran, Simon Lofberg called the jam. Conor Beresford jammed as well more than what Darie had but less than Lofberg's stack. Duran got out of the way.
Vlad Darie:
Conor Beresford:
Simon Lofberg:
Beresford was sitting on the high ground and it would require a catastrophic board for him not to almost triple up. The board came to confirm the huge pot for Beresford and bust Darie.
Andre Moreira Marques's short stack was expired elsewhere as he was eliminated and Mauricio Pais was taken out to set up the three table redraw.

Alexander Ivarsson has been steadily growing his stack in the time before and after the bubble. He's recently scored another elimination to grow his stack further.
After Mario Mosboeck moved all in under the gun, Ivarsson re-jammed in the small blind, and Mauricio Pais folded in the big blind.
Mario Mosboeck:
Alexander Ivarsson:
Mosboeck needed a queen or some diamonds, but nothing came for him on the runout, making him the first to receive a payout at the new level of €20,500.
Meanwhile at another table, Nicolas Burtin was eliminated in 30th place.
