Peluso Has a Dream Start

David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Fabio Peluso raised to 10,000 under the gun and Andrea Mussumarra three-bet to 35,000 in middle position. The table folded back to Peluso who moved all in for 60,000 and Mussumarra snap-called.

Fabio Peluso: A♠A♣ All in
Andrea Mussumarra: A♦K♦

Peluso had woken up with aces, but Mussumarra picked up a flush draw on the 10♦8♦5♣ flop. The 10♥ turn was safe for Peluso, while the river was the 6♠ and he wiped his brow and raked in his early double up.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Filippos Avramidis and Marcos Thielke were heads-up on a flop of 8♦6♠J♠ when Avramidis bet 15,000 from the hijack. Thielke called in the big blind.

The turn was the K♠ and Avramidis bet another 35,000. Thielke again called and checked over to Avramidis on the 3♠ river, and this time Avramidis checked back.

Thielke showed Q♦J♥, but Avramidis turned over Q♣Q♥ to win the pot.

David Salituro

The 81 players who return for Day 2 of the 888poker Live Barcelona Main Event at 5 p.m. local time all have one common goal: make it to the money and, ultimately, the final table.

That is what is at stake once action resumes today inside Casino Barcelona. Chang Tan leads the surviving players from the first three starting flights with 574,000, followed by Juan Velasco (485,500), Dan Hoidahl (451,000), Angel Blanco (441,500), and Tiago Luis (428,000).

Day 2 Top 10 Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Chang Tan	Hong Kong	574,000
2	Juan Velasco	Spain	485,500
3	Dan Hoidahl	Norway	451,000
4	Angel Blanco	Spain	441,500
5	Tiago Luis	Portugal	428,000
6	Razvan Morar	Romania	396,500
7	Mauro Panto		387,000
8	Eric Sucias	Spain	378,000
9	Alfredo Garcia	Spain	375,000
10	Edgar Bermejo	Spain	373,500

Other players returning include 888poker Live Bucharest champion Razvan Morar (396,500), Ariel Faskowicz (367,000), Abel Aspas (301,000), Madrid runner-up Alvaro Murciano (272,000), and defending champion Josep Valls (246,500). Further down the leaderboard are YouTuber Inaki Angulo (197,500), Gabi Livshitz (121,500), WSOP Europe champion Marti Roca (107,000), and Adam Martinsson (90,000). Aaron Barone (349,500) and Vivian Saliba (299,500) are representing the 888poker team in today’s field.

The first three starting flights saw a total of 365 entries. They’ll be joined by players from the turbo Day 1d flight that began at 11 a.m. and is currently ongoing. Late registration is also open until the start of the day, so the field can potentially grow much larger by the time the prize pool is confirmed. The action picks up on Level 15 with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and a 5,000 big blind ante, and levels will again be 40 minutes long. Play is scheduled to go down to the final table by the end of the day.

Stay tuned as PokerNews follows all the action throughout the day. The feature table will also be streamed on 888poker’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, featuring commentary from David Tuchman.
