Joep van den Bijgaart is playing a massive 410,000 stack, up 226,000 for the day.
Upon our request for details, the Dutchman told us he first won a couple of small ones postflop to up his stack. A slightly bigger pot went his way when he won from preflop all in for 15 big blinds.
The biggest pot contributing to his rise was a hand where Aku Joentausta opened for 6,500 and a player behind him shoved for 80,000 with off suit. Van den Bijgaart found and went to battle with it. The jack held up for Van den Bijgaart and he now plays a stack well over 400,000.

From under the gun, Argentina's Emmanuel Lopez Lasuen raised to 6,500. Play folded to Italy's Dario Sammartino in the cutoff seat, and he reraised to 17,000. When it got back to Lasuen after a few folds, he opted to raise the price and made it 41,000 to go. Sammartino didn't back down, and kicked the action up to 73,000. Lasuen just called, opting to take a flop with a little over 150,000 left. Sammartino had him covered.
The flop was , and Lasuen checked. Sammartino fired 40,000, and Lasuen gave it up after not too much thought.
With that, Sammartino moved to over 400,000 in chips.
Nick Petrangelo bagged the overnight chip lead with a staggering 570,000-chip stack, but just now he came up to us to dispute the hand history that gave him the chip lead last night, which was received from Tonnie Krijn, the player Petrangelo busted.
According to Petrangelo, the hand from last night didn't result in him check-raising all in on the flop. Instead, he check-called the flop before getting the money in on the turn.
Petrangelo said, "There was a raise from early position to 5,000 and I three-bet with suited to 13,800 from the hijack. The player on my left, which we both started out with very deep stacks, four-bet to 32,000 and I called."
The two big stacks went heads up to the flop that showed , according to Petrangelo.
"I check-called a bet of 40,000, and the turn was another nine, so I made trips." Petrangelo said. "I led out for 43,700, and he ripped 170,000 total. I called and he had queens."
Petrangelo's three-of-a-kind held up to give him the win and vault his stack into the lead, which is where he closed out the night. He's now one of the top contenders in the EPT Barcelona Main Event on the third day of play as the field moves closer to the money.
