Day 2 Sees the Field Cut to 292 with Ruzicka Leading

Nível 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Vojtech Ruzicka
Vojtech Ruzicka

Day 2 of the €5,300 Main Event from the European Poker Tour Barcelona has come to a close, and a massive day it was. After a field of 1,496 entries was generated, over 900 players returned for Day 2. That allowed for a whopping €7,255,600 prize pool, of which the top 239 players would be paid out with the winner set to receive €1,261,000.

At the end of another six 75-minute levels of play, 292 players remained, which isn't too far away from a cash. Breaking the bubble will come on Day 3, and it'll be one of the more exciting days in the tournament. Just sliding into the money will earn each player €8,050.

Finishing atop the surviving players was Vojtech Ruzicka with 617,100 in chips. Ruzicka started the day with 155,300 in chips and steadily increased his stack. He picked up a nice pot towards the end of the night against Dominik Nitsche where he bet, bet, bet on the flop, turn, and river of a board reading {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Nitsche called all three streets, including calling for all of his chips on the river, with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Nitsche, Ruzicka rivered a gut-shot straight with the {10-Spades}{7-Spades} to send him to the rail.

Other players who finished towards the top of the counts were Nima Ahrary (519,600), Martin Finger (502,000), Tobias Rohe (435,000), Marko Neumann (316,100), Max Pescatori (294,000), Fedor Holz (260,600), Kent Lundmark (237,700), and Scott Seiver (216,400).

On the flip side of the coin, plenty of players busted out on the day. Some of those to bust were Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden, Alex Kravchenko, Jake Cody, Matthias De Meulder, Daniel Negreanu, Ivan Demidov, Leo Fernandez, Liv Boeree, Leo Margets, Marcin Horecki, Theo Jorgensen, and Eugene Katchalov.

Day 3 will kick off at 12 p.m. local time on Sunday, so be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for more coverage from Barcelona.

Dominik Nitsche Eliminated

Nível 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

As we neared the table in the far back left, we were just in time to see Dominik Nitsche call all in on the river.

The board read {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Nitsche called all in and immediately showed his {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. His opponent was Vojtech Ruzicka and he tabled {10-Spades}{7-Spades}, soon enough to give Nitsche the bad news.

Nitsche wished the table good luck, and made his way to the exit. Nitsche told us on his way out that he had just called with his kings before the flop, and that he had done the same on the flop, turn and river. The trapping didn't work out this time, as his Czech opponent caught his river gut-shot.

The Cutoff Given the Finger

Nível 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Martin Finger
Martin Finger

We just got news of the biggest pot of the tournament, thanks to Martin Finger spilling all the details to our German PokerStars Blog colleague.

The player in the cutoff opened, and Martin Finger made it 13,000 from the button holding {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Both blinds folded, but Finger's opponent wasn't willing to let go of his hand so easily. The cutoff four bet to 39,000 and Finger made the call in position.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the cutoff bet out 40,000. Finger made the call.

The {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn and Finger's opponent pushed all in for 140,000. Finger made the call for his tournament life holding... {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Finger had his remaining 104,300 in the middle, but would soon get those all back times two, as his opponent had {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The river came the {9-Spades} and Finger doubled to the absolute chip lead.

The German High Stakes player won the EPT Prague a couple of seasons ago, and also already has a Super High Roller title under his belt.

Mizrachi Finally Has a Real Hand, Gets Runner Runnered by a November Niner

Nível 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi was up to an impressive 256,800, but just lost a 100,000 pot to fall back to just over 210,000.

Mizrachi, under the gun, got his chips in against November Niner Andoni Larrabe in the hijack on {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Mizrachi called so quickly, Larrabe knew he was in trouble with his {10-Hearts}{10-}. Mizrachi had {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and was well in the lead.

The {7-Spades} on the turn gave Larrabe a bunch of new outs all of the sudden, and the {J-Spades} was one of the cards he could hit to stay alive.

Mizrachi missed out on that 94,800 pot, but still has 210,800 left.

From One Bugbear To Another, Time Now For Danzer To Take EPT Gold

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
George Danzer
George Danzer

The PokerStars summer of 2014 will be remembered for its numerous high points. Vanessa Selbst won her second WSOP bracelet in the $25k Mixed Max. Daniel Negreanu took second place in the Big One for One Drop to return to top spot as the highest earning tournament player in history. But it was also memorable for one man’s achievement of finally seeing off a personal tournament bugbear, as the PokerStars Blog reports.

Cruel Exit For Vamplew

Nível 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
David Vamplew
David Vamplew

Zoltan Purak opened for 1,700 and was called on the button by David Vamplew and the player in the small blind. Three to a flop of {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades} and a check from the small blind saw Purak continue for 2,800. Vamplew raised him to 7,500 and with the small blind out of the way Purak elected to call.

The turn card was the {9-Spades} and with Purak checking Vamplew took his time before betting 10,000. Purak put out the calling chips and the final card in the middle was the {8-Diamonds}. A final check from Purak who had Vamplew covered saw Vampew declare, “All in.” Purak threw out some chips to indicate a call.

Vamplew turned over {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for the ace high flush, Purak quietly tabled {j-Spades}{10-Spades} for the straight flush. All Vamplew could do was emit a sigh, pack up and leave the room.

Tempers Fray on Table 57

Nível 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Diego Gomez
Diego Gomez

The temperature in the main tournament area is rising and already there's been a few tense moments. None more so than over on Table 57 where the anger spilled over after a big hand.

The hand in question had seen Henri Ojala move all in preflop with Filippo Bisciglia having made a minimum raise behind him. In the small blind Jakob Karlsson, who previously came second at the EPT San Remo won by Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree, pushed all in behind him. Apparently there was an issue with Diego Gomez in the big blind, but we'll deal with that after the hand. Bisciglia tanked for several minues and had the clock called on him before he finally folded with barely a few seconds left. "Queens," he whispered to the player to his left.

Karlsson: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Ojala: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The board came {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Karlsson scooped the pot and Bisciglia was satisified with his fold. At this point, Clyde Tjauw Foe took issue with what Diego Gomez had done in the big blind when action was on the Spaniard.

Gomez claimed he was putting out change for the dealer, Foe was not impressed saying, "You put out two chips and that's a call!"

Gomez, "I am a gentleman!"

Foe, "You're not a gentleman."

The voices of the pair got louder and louder as they began to shout at each other about respect and neither showed any signs of backing down. Tournament director Toby Stone came by and told the two they had to stop now otherwise security would be throwing both of them out. This had the desired effect, however, to make sure, there is now a seven-foot security guard on permanent watch next to their table.

Welcome To Day 2

Jose Lamarca Capa
Jose Lamarca Capa

A total of 889 players will take their seats at noon, combining the day 1a (270) and 1b (619) survivors. The record breaking field lost a lot of players on the first days, but it's still huge. The schedule for today hasn't been announced yet, but in recent years the second day of play was an easy one with just six levels of 75 minutes each, and no dinner break. The tournament organization might just change that and add some levels, as there needs to be space created for all the side events.

Local player Jose Lamarca Capa qualified through a live satellite earlier this week, and now leads the charge with a whopping 193,300 in chips. Day 1a chip leader Michael Mizrachi isn't far behind though with 186,600 in chips. Atanas Kavrakov from Bulgaria is the shortest player in the field, he has just a mere 900 chips to start the day.

The first level of play is 400/800 today, with an ante of 100. PokerNews will be on sight for coverage of all the big hands, crucial flips, big suck outs, and huge bluffs. We'll also have all the photos you want, and interviews with all the biggest players. Stay tuned!
