€25,000 Single-Day High Roller
Day 1 Started
At 12:30 pm local time the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona €25,000 Single-Day High Roller event will get underway as a new batch of players look the emulate Benjamin Pollak and take down a High Roller title in just one day.
Two days ago, Pollak beat a field of 69 entrants to turn €50,000 into €979,000 in just over 12 hours after he was crowned the victor in the PokerStars EPT Barcelona €50,000 Single-Day High Roller
Today brings another opportunity for the players as the second and final single day High Roller event of the series takes place.
The High Roller events have been hugely popular in Barcelona so far with the likes of Timothy Adams, Sam Greenwood, Cary Katz, Bryn Kenney, Stephen Chidwick, David Peters, Patrik Antonius, Nick Petrangelo and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu all in action.
Michael Soyza took down the €10,300 High Roller for €302,500, while Mikita Badziakouski won the €100,000 Super High Roller event for a staggering €1,650,300.
Today's tournament will play out over 30-minute levels with a starting stack worth 100,000 and blinds beginning at 500/1000/1000. There will be a 20-minute break after every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break at the end of level 16 (approx. 9 pm) if the remaining players so wish.
The 30-second shot clock will be implemented from the start of the event, and each player will receive six time bank cards of 30 seconds each at the start of play.
Yesterday evening saw 67 entries in the €25k satellite including 12 re-entries, with six players progressing to today's tournament.
PokerNews will be bringing you all the action from the day as one player wins a High Roller title in one single day!
