The €500,000 guarantee the Main Event boasted is already smashed with the Day 1c field growing to 166 entrants. So far the three opening flights in total have attracted 548 entrants.
Pascal Pflock opened from the hijack to 500 before Jose Maria Martinez Lazaro raised to 3,500.
Vivian Saliba, who earlier lost some chips, went into the tank and even used one of her time bank tokens before calling from the small blind. The action then folded back to Plfock who called.
It folded around to Lazaro after the flop came 
and he fired out for 6,900. Saliba, who had a little less than that remaining in her stack made the call and Pflock folded.
Saliba: 
Lazaro: 
Lazaro was a bit behind after the flop and needed help to win the hand. The 
and 
were both safe cards for Saliba and she doubled up to near a starting stack.

Day 1c will almost definitely be the biggest of the three flights as the field size has grown to 197 entrants.
The €150 Pot Limit Omaha €10,000 Gtd has just kicked off in a side room at Casino Barcelona called the Cotton Club.
Luca Marchetti reentered and is now at the same table as Sofia Lovgren. He is already getting involved in hands at his new table including one that just happened.
Ondrej Drozd opened for 300 before Luca Marchetti three-bet to 1,000. Claudio Daffina called from the big blind and Drozd called to complete the preflop action.
Daffina and Drozd checked the 
flop before they called a bet of 4,000 from Marchetti. All three players checked after the 
paired the turn.
Daffina checked again when the completed the board on the river before Drozd fired out for 7,000. Marchetti visibly appeared frustrated and folded his hand and Daffina did the same.

888poker Ambassador Parker Talbot has just joined the action following the first break. He seemed to be in good spirits on the way to his chair.
It seems Talbot is willing to gamble.
"I am ready to fire my first bullet," shared Talbot.
We told Talbot, "Well, hopefully, it only takes one."
"Hopefully, but this is a good tournament to fire in as many times as it takes," Talbot replied.
