Three starting flights have concluded and one more is still to come in the 2024 888poker LIVE Barcelona €888 Main Event. day 1c attracted 191 entrants here at Casino Barcelona bringing the total field size to 418 and prize pool to $337,744 so far.
This year's Main Event has already surpassed the attendance of last year's 888poker LIVE Barcelona Main Event which featured 369 entrants and the number for this year will continue to grow as late registration remains available throughout the final Day 1d starting flight all the way until the start of Day 2.
After the dust had settled France's Jeremy Atlan held the biggest stack in the room, finishing Day 1c with 344,000, a stack that will be worth 115 big blinds going into Day 2. Atlan climbed to the top of the chip counts in the last level of the night after cracking pocket kings with pocket tens. He is most closely followed by Spain's Antonio Olivan (310,500) and fellow countryman Henri Peluchon (299,500).

Among the notables who played Day 1c but did not survive until the end of the night is Maria Lampropulos, who registered just before the last level of play. Lampropulos, as well as 888poker stream team members Nick Eastwood and Aaron Barone will have one last chance to run up a stack in Day 1d tomorrow should they choose to take advantage of the tournament's unlimited reentries.
Tomorrow, May 19 is expected to be a busy day at Casino Barcelona as the fourth and final starting flight, featuring 20-minute levels, kicks off at noon local time. Later that day the fields will combine for Day 2 of the Main Event which starts at 5:00 p.m. local time. Late registration will remain open until just before the first hand is dealt on Day 2, at which point the final prize pool will be set.
Day 2 is set to play 12 45-minute levels with 15-minute breaks taking place after every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break set to take place later in the evening. All the action will be streamed on the 888poker YouTube and Twitch channels.
Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all the action for the conclusion of this event from the moment cards are in the air on Day 2 until a winner is crowned on the third and final day taking place on May 20.

Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player from under the gun moved all in for 35,000 and Jeremy Atlan raised to 75,000 from the cutoff, forcing all other players out of the pot to leave the under the gun player at risk.
Opponent: K♦K♥
Jeremy Atlan: 10♣10♠
Atlan was in rough shape with the lower pocket pair until the 8♥5♥10♥ flop gave him top set leaving his opponent drawing just to a heart or a king. The rest of the board ran out 3♣6♦ changing nothing for either player and Atlan took the pot.

In the 829th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about Doug Polk being denied a new poker room in Texas. Check out some highlights and clips from a city council meeting in which Polk went to the podium to plead his case. While some respected what he had to say, some poker players like Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen and Matt Waxman were critical of his motives.
Speaking of Polk, he indicated he might be available to participate in Hustler Casino Live's (HCL) $1,000,000 Cash Game at the end of the month after Ethan "Rampage" Yau dropped out. The latter, who has been on a downswing and recently admitted to shedding tears over a $550K loss, caught some flack for pulling out after asking fans to buy pieces and was the subject of a negative video released by Alex Duvall. Find out what the crew thinks about Rampage's current predicament, including a World Series of Poker (WSOP) challenge issued by Holtz.
Also, learn about Sofie Dossi contorting herself at the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational III, which was won by Katie Thurston for $20,000, as well as hearing from PokerNews Ambassadors Keith Becker (Pennsylvania) and Kyle Anderson (Ontario). Finally, the crew remembers two-time bracelet winner & music icon Steve Albini, who unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.

With two players seeing a board of 10♠2♥8♠ and about 15,000 in the middle, Albert Grane checked from under the gun and Ian Simpson bet 5,500 from the button. Grane made the call.
Simpson bet again for 10,000 when checked to on the Q♠ turn and once again was called by Grane.
Both players checked the 7♠ river.
"I win" Grane declared, tabling J♠10♦ for a rivered flush to take the pot.
The very next hand, Simpson opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and Albert Grane defended from the big blind.
The flop came Q♠5♠7♥ and Grane check-called a 3,500 continuation bet from Simpson.
Both players checked the 8♥ turn leading to the 6♥ river. Simpson bet 15,000, sending Grane into the tank.
Several minutes went by before Grane flicked in the call. Simpson tabled A♣5♦ for bottom pair, turned into aa bluff. Grane turned over J♥7♣ for just a pair of sevens to take another pot at Simpson's expense.
