Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event at Casino Barcelona has reached its final 153 players at the end of Day 2 with Ukraine's Igor Kaufman (4,365,000) leading the way with a stack of 4,365,000. Not far behind are PokerStars' own Parker Talbot (3,995,000) and Ukraine's Vasyl Laba (4,075,000)

The ESPT drew a record-breaking field of 7,398 entrants (up from last year's record-breaking field of 6,313) across eight starting flights and saw 1,109 players return for Day 2, all of whom were in the money and guaranteed a payday of at least €1,750.

Among the players to advance to Day 3 are Day 1 chip leaders Avihai Smadga, Benjamin Tessier and Frederik Johansen, as well as James Akenhead, Ewen Trevidy and Vladas Tamasauskas.

Day 2 Top 10 Chip Counts

1	Igor Kaufman	Israel	4,365,000	109
2	Vasyl Laba	Ukraine	4,075,000	102
3	Parker Talbot	Canada	3,995,000	100
4	Manuel Oshea	Spain	3,700,000	93
5	Jeremias Mendoza	Argentina	3,675,000	92
6	David Hareuveni	Israel	3,495,000	87

10	Ewen Trevidy	France	2,940,000	74

With the money bubble already burst, it didn't take long for the bustout line to start growing.

Some of the players who fell early on Day 2 include Sweden's Alexander Norden (1,106th - €1,750), Julien Mariani (960th - €1,880), Switzerland's Dinesh Alt (945th - €1,880), the Netherlands' Frank Visser (948th - €1,880), Austria's Daniel Rezaei (847th - €2,020) and PokerStars Team Online Pro Benjamin Spragg (774th - €2,290).

Another player who didn't make it through the day was Ali Alnuaimi, who was eliminated in the most brutal way possible as he called off his stack with aces full, losing to the quad queens of Aristidis Theodoridis in a bustout he is unlikely to forget about any time soon.

Later in the evening, Athanasios Fergiatakis had his kings cracked by Andrea Roner, who held ace-queen and flopped a queen before hitting another on the turn.

One player whose big hand did hold up was Carlos Leiva, who tripled up in an aces versus queens versus jacks confrontation against Ferdinando Dalessio and Sandro Pitzanti that skyrocketed the Argentinian up the chip counts.

Other players who didn't make it to bagging time include Uri Reichenstein (300th - €4,650), Jack Salter (408th - €4,040), Teun Mulder (446th - €3,500) and Conor Beresford (453rd - €3,500).

Day 3 action will kick off at noon local time on Level 25 with blinds of 20,000/40,000/40,000. There's still another day to go after that before a winner is crowned on Day 4 on Aug. 27.

Don't go anywhere as the PokerNews live reporting team is on-site here on the coast of Spain and will continue providing updates on the ESPT and EPT Barcelona action.

High-Stakes Entrepreneur Tom Orpaz Wins €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em (€255,480)

connorrichards

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Israel's Tom Orpaz won another PokerStars Spade this week when he took down €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em at PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona for a career-best live cash of €255,480.

Orpaz, a real estate and sports betting entrepreneur, got through a field of 28 runners in the event that created a prize pool of €672,280.

Orpaz defeated fellow high-stakes regular Kayhan Mokri during heads-up play after high roller elites Timothy Adams and Nacho Barbero bowed out in third and fourth.

Orpaz has had plenty of success on the EPT and Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) circuits. He won APT High Roller and Bounty events in 2022 and picked up an EPT Spade at EPT Malta in 2016.

Velasevic Drills The River to Fade Elimination

OHairDJ

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Danilo Velasevic shoved for 245,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Felipe Germano in the big blind, who tanked for some time before deciding to call and put Velasevic at risk.

Danilo Velasevic: Q♦9♦
Felipe Germano: Q♥J♠

The A♠K♥K♦ flop and 2♣ turn kept Germano in the lead, but the 9♣ river paired Velasevic's nine to award him the double up as Day 2 nears its end.

Ferraro Runs into Camardese's Kings

OHairDJ

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alan Ferraro opened to 60,000 first-to-act and was three-bet to 170,000 by Rolando Camardese in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Ferraro, who called.

Ferraro check-called a 135,000 bet from Camardese on the 7♠6♥9♦ flop and then both players checked on the 4♦ turn.

The 2♣ completed the board and Ferraro led out for 185,000. Camardese called instantly and Ferraro tabled Q♥Q♣. Queens were no good, however, as Camardese turned over K♠K♣ for kings and collected the pot.
