Darcourt'ing the Field on Day 2

donpeters

Welcome back to Day 2 of the 2011 PokerStars.com EPT Barcelona Main Event. After the completion of Day 1b last night, a total of 407 players will be back to action today starting at noon local time. Heading the advancing field is Day 1b chip leader and French poker pro Guillaume Darcourt who bagged up a whopping 195,300 in chips. Behind in is Day 1a's chip leader Martin Schleich with 182,100.

The highest-ranking Team PokerStars Pro is Eugene Katchalov. The member of Team Pro Ukraine bagged up 153,100 in chips last night. He'll be joined by fellow team members Leo Fernandez, Matthias De Meulder, Andre Akkari, Rino Mathis, Ville Wahlbeck, Jason Mercier and Vanessa Selbst, among others, here today. The shortest stack of the Team Pros is Jonathan Duhamel. The 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion only managed to bag up 18,400 in chips, but this is poker and anything can happen with the turn of a few cards.

A few of the other notable players who will enter Day 2 with hefty stacks are Sam El Sayed, Dmitry Gromov, Daniel Cates, Chris Moorman, Mickey Petersen and Marvin Rettenmaier.

As stated earlier, play begins at noon local time, so be sure to stay glued right here to PokerNews for all the live coverage straight from the floor.

Ding!

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We're a bit fashionably late over here, but things are rolling now. The announcements have just been run through, and we think we heard the Tournament Director say we're playing six levels today. More confirmation about the day's schedule to come. For now, most of the 407 remaining players have found their chairs, and they've been called to action with the most famous words in poker.

Day 2 is under way.

Ace-high good for Pagano

MarcC

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano is up to nearly 40,000 after ace-high was good against Haykel Cherif Vidal.

He raised to 2,500 from early position and was called by the Spaniard from the small blind before the flop fell {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Hearts} . Pagano c-bet for 3,000 and Vidal called before the two player checked through the {10-Spades} {q-Diamonds} turn and river. Pagano tabled {a-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and it was good.

Gromov Adds

With around 7,000 chips in the middle on the flop of {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} , Joseph Cheong, Dmitry Gromov and Jeremie Corcia were in action and Cheong was up first. He checked and Gromov fired 3,100. Corcia raised to 6,700 and that knocked Cheong out of the way. Gromov came back with a reraise to 10,100 and Corcia called.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and Gromov bet 30,000, which had Corcia covered by just a little bit. After a minute or so in the tank, Corcia folded and Gromov moved to 173,000 in chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dmitry Gromov	173,000	20,800

Mattern Close to a Triple-up but Busts

MarcC

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern just popped by the press area to fill us in on his unfortunate demise.

He raised to 2,500 from under-the-gun before Anatolii Ozhenilok three-bet to 5,300 from two seats along. Mario Adinolfi was one more seat along and he flat called. The action was folded back to Mattern who waited 30 seconds before moving all-in for 21,400. In turn the two players behind him both moved all in as well to create a big showdown.

Mattern: {k-} {k-}
Ozhenilok: {10-} {10-}
Adinolfi: {a-} {10-}

The Italian was behind to both players but he had a live ace and it found a friend on the board to scoop the lot and eliminate both opponents.

We'll be playing six levels today with a 15-minute break between each. All except Level 4, that is, which will be followed by an extended 30-minute "snack break". A level, a break, and one more level after that, the bags will be out on the tables at the end of the night -- right about 9:30 PM local time.
