Welcome back to the €10,000 High Roller at the 2012 PokerStars.com EPT Sanremo for Day 2 action. Yesterday, 74 players entered this event and accounted for 10 reloads, which made the total field size 84 entries and created a prize pool of €823,200, with €288,000 of that reserved for the eventual winner. With just 44 players remaining, the man best positioned to capture the top prize is Brandon Barnes, who finished as the chip leader with 211,700 in chips.
Some of the players who did not fair so well on Day 1 were Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, Steve O'Dwyer, Sam Trickett, Mike "Timex" McDonald, Marc-Andre Ladouceur and Paul Berende. On the other hand, a number of notables thrived and will begin today with big stacks including Pier Paola Ruscalla (199,300), Justin Bonomo (190,600), Kent Roed (188,800) and Luca Pagano (188,600).
The tournament was originally scheduled as a two-day event, but due to a high turnout, rumors have circulated that an extra day may be added. While that is not confirmed, we expect we'll learn more details as the day wears on. Play will resume tomorrow at 3:00 PM local time, which is about a half hour from now, so be sure to stay tuned for all the live coverage from the Casino Sanremo.
Level: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 200
The cards are in the air for Day 2 of the €10,000 High Roller.
The €2,000 No-Limit Hold'em side event continued with Day 2 yesterday, and the fiekd has been whittled down to just 38 players. All are in the money, and it's Faraz Jaka leading the way with 628,000 in chips.
The top 48 spots were paid out from the 450-player field, and everyone left is guaranteed a minimum of €5,200. Notables that cashed on Day 2, but busted are Timothy Adams (44th — €4,370), Vicent van der Fluit (42nd — €4,370), Andrey Gulyy (41st — €4,370) and Calvin Anderson (40th — €5,200).
Other notables big stacks include Jonathan Little (485,000), Melanie Weisner (478,000) and Ronny Kaiser (460,000).
The event will return to action at 3:00 PM local time today for Day 3 in hopes of grinding down to a winner. There's €210,000 up top for the champion, so it should be a great finish to the event.

Action folded around to a short-stacked Vanessa Rousso on the button and the Team PokerStars Pro moved all in for 13,400. The small blind got out of the way, and then Kristijonas Andrulis squeezed his cards from the big. "Call," Andrulis snapped after looking down at , which was well out in front of Rousso's .
The board ran out and a clearly discontent Rousso made a hasty exit from the tournament floor. "That was a sweet squeeze," Andrulis commented after the hand about waking up with aces.

From under the gun, Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 2,400. Action moved to McLean Karr in the hijack seat, and he reraised to 5,600. Play then folded back to Jouhkimainen. After a minute, Jouhkimainen reraised to 13,700. Karr gave it up, and Jouhkimainen won the pot.
On the flop, Shahin Baharan and Franck Kalfon checked to chip leader Brandon Barnes. Barnes fired 4,500, and both of his opponents made the call.
The turn was the , and action checked to Barnes again. He bet 12,300 this time, but couldn't get any calls as both Baharan and Kalfon folded.
