Dia 3 Iniciado
The PokerStars Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT) continues today at Casino Barcelona as €2,200 Estrellas Poker Tour High Roller plays to its conclusion. The event is scheduled to kick off this afternoon as the final ten players get whittled down to a champion.
Coming into Day 3 with the overall chip lead is Conor Beresford, who managed to accumulate 16,075,000 by the conclusion of play last night. Beresford already has $2,389,071 in live tournament earnings but is looking to add €629,990 with a win today, his biggest lifetime score.
In addition, no stranger to tournament success is Antoine Labat, who is starting the day second in chips, as he managed to bag and tag 11,075,000 by the end of play; the only other player of the remaining 10 to secure a seven-figure stack. Labat has an equally impressive poker resume with $2,520,172 in live tournament earnings. If Labat took home the trophy today, it would be the first major live tournament win of his poker career.
