Season 10 of the European Poker Tour continues today with Day 2 of the €50,000 Super High Roller. Yesterday, 39 unique players plus 10 re-entries accounted for 49 total entries, but that number is expected to go up as registration is open until the start of Day 2. Igor Kurganov, who busted in the last hand of the night on Day 1, is likely to re-enter, and online high-stakes pro Jens Kyllonen has been spotted wandering the room.
Hungarian businessman Sandor Demjan will begin the day as chip leader with 1,037,000, and he will be joined by other big stacks such as Fabian Quoss (813,000), Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu (619,000), and November Niner David Benefield (552,000).
Others who busted on Day 1, subsequently re-entered, and are still in contention are Richard Yong, Tobias Reinkemeier, Jeff Rossiter, Timothy Adams, Paul Newey, Marc-Andre Ladouceur, Martin Finger, and Philipp Gruissem.
The field will return at 12 p.m. local time, which is about 20 minutes from now. At that time registration will be closed and official numbers, including the final number of entries and the prize pool, will be released. Join us then as we bring you all the action and eliminations straight from the floor of the Casino Barcelona.

finished the board and Unh was eliminated early here on Day 2. Quoss added to his stack and now sits around 860,000 in chips.

Newey Doubles Through Kurganov
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Igor Kurganov busted in the last hand of the night on Day 1 in a brutal set-over-set situation, but he has re-entered here on Day 2. Unfortunately for him, his luck hasn't changed thus far.
In a recent hand, there was about 60,000 in the pot and a board reading 
when Paul Newey moved all in from the big blind for 75,000. Kurganov was on the button and he thought long and hard before making the call with the for top pair. Newey then rolled over the 
for top pair with a better kicker.
The 
river missed Kurganov and Newey doubled through the German.
