The 2017 PokerStars Championship Barcelona €10,300 High Roller attracted a field of 557 entries including 431 unique players and just 34 of them remain for the final day with the lion's share of the juicy €5,402,900 prize pool still up for grabs. The top 79 spots were paid and all Day 3 players have €25,380 locked up for their efforts, while the elusive High Roller trophy and €1,036,800 first prize awaits for the winner.
Leading the field into Day 3 is 27-year-old Ronny Kaiser, who took down the EPT8 Tallinn Main Event for €275,000. Kaiser established a solid lead over the rest of the field after bagging up 2,696,000 last night. Luis Rodriguez sits in second place 1,893,000 and the Spanish pro is known on the virtual felt by his moniker "Turko_man" on PokerStars, belonging to the exclusive 12-member group of two-time Sunday Million champions.
Other big stacks and notables still in contention in a field filled with the biggest names of poker in Europe and worldwide are Boris Kolev (1,370,000), Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot (1,358,000), the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event third place finisher Benjamin Pollak (1,353,000), Quan Zhou (1,189,000), PokerStars Team Pro Jake Cody (1,080,000), JC Alvarado (840,000), Christoph Vogelsang (739,000), Sam Grafton (658,000) and Jakub Michalak (579,000) to name just a few.

Because of the huge turnout, the tournament has a little too many people still in with 34. The projections from the tournament organization predicted that this tournament wouldn't finish in time.
The remaining players were presented with 2 options to combat this. Either play 50-minute levels throughout today instead of 60, or 60-minute levels for the first 6 levels and 45-minute levels thereafter. The majority choose the latter option so levels will remain 60 minutes till the 7th level of the day starts.
Besides this option, breaks have been reduced from 20 minutes long till 15 minutes long and the dinner break is now just 30 minutes long. Players still active in the tournament do get a ticket for the buffet so there's an option closeby where players will be able to get dinner in time.
Players at the final table will get an extra time bank.
