Day 1 Completed

Ahadpur Khangah Leads After PokerStars EPT Barcelona €100,000 Super High Roller Day 1

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ahadpur Khangah

The 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona €100,000 Super High Roller field raced its way through eight 60-minute levels, and at the end of it, just 28 players out of 44 entries will advance to Day 2.

It looked like more would advance, but the late eliminations of Ali Reza Fatehi, Nick Petrangelo - one of two players to bust twice today - and Spaniard Adrian Mateos meant that just 28 will be coming back tomorrow.

Dario Sammartino, Wai Leong Chan and Luc Greenwood were the only other three players to bust on Day 2 and not re-enter, as the likes of Nick Petrangelo, Timothy Adams, Linus Loeliger, David Peters, Christoph Vogelsang and Seth Davies all jumped straight back in.

The number at the start of Day 2 will undoubtedly grow, as certain players take advantage of late registration being open until the start of Day 2, but several players have already assured themselves good stacks at the end of Day 1.

The chip leader heading into Day 2 is Ahadpur Khangah who, although coughing and spluttering off the tables, was the exact opposite when it came to the poker, bagging well in excess of one million chips with 1,155,000.

He was boosted by the elimination of Dario Sammartino who flopped two pair in a hand against Khangah. Unfortunately for him, Khangah rivered a better two pair and shoved into the Italian, who called and was eliminated.

Other big stacks include Pascal LeFrancois (647,000), David Peters (638,000), Seth Davies (622,000), Timothy Adams (587,000), Jan-Eric Schwippert (545,000) and Patrik Antonius (517,000). These are the only players who bagged at least two starting stacks.

Khangah will start Day 2 at 12:30 local time at Casino Barcelona with the chip lead, but with several other big names expected to join the field he might be hard-pushed to hold onto that!

Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates.

Fatehi Ousted in Straight-Over-Straight Setup

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ali Reza Fatehi
Ali Reza Fatehi

A min-raised pot to the {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop was checked by Setz Davies in the under-the-gun position, Ali Reza Fatehi on the button and Linus Loeliger in the small blind. The {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn and action checked to Davies, who bet 27,000. Fatehi called and Loeliger raised it up to 108,000.

That's when things got even more tricky, as Fatehi announced an all in out of turn and the floorman was called. The options remained the same for Davies, and if he called, the all in of Fatehi was binding. That's exactly that happened, and Fatehi was all in for 227,000. Loeliger folded and Davies snap-called.

Ali Reza Fatehi: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Seth Davies: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The {3-Hearts} on the river was insignificant, as Davies had the nut straight, and Fatehi was ousted just before bagging and tagging.

Two Late Eliminations; Mateos and Petrangelo Fall

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo got his last 90,000 chips in the middle with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} against the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Benjamin Pollak.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and although Petrangelo called for - and got - a {5-Diamonds} on the turn, the river {k-Spades} couldn't save him and he was eliminated.

Meanwhile, on a {7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop Adrian Mateos moved all in for 80,000. Richard Yong called.

Adrian Mateos: {8-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Richard Yong: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The {5-Spades}{7-Spades} run out couldn't save him either, and Mateos was eliminated.

Two Bustouts in Last Five Hands

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

The last five hands were barely announced when Sergio Aido vanished from table two. The Spaniard confirmed that he had four-bet all in for 245,000 with pocket fives and Timothy Adams won the flip with ace-queen after getting there with a straight.

Only a few minutes later over on table four, Orpen Kisacikoglu got his last 48,500 in from the cutoff and Sam Greenwood reshoved in the small blind.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Sam Greenwood: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop gave Greenwood top set and Kisacikoglu a gutshot, but the {6-Hearts} turn ended all hopes to make the {9-Diamonds} river a formality.

Mateos Stews After Schwippert River Shove

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jan-Eric Schwippert opened pre-flop and got calls from Richard Yong and Adrian Mateos in the small blind.

The three players checked the {9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop and the turn was the {q-Spades}. Mateos bet 33,000 and Schwippert was the only caller.

The river was the {k-Spades}. Mateos bet half his stack, or 77,500, and Schwippert raised all in for 278,500.

Mateos repeatedly flung his hands in the air in disbelief, and burned throuhg four of his time extensions before folding.

Khangah Busts Sammartino; Jumps Above a Million

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

A raise by Dario Sammartino in late position resulted in a three-bet to 29,000 by Ahadpur Khangah in the big blind and Sammartino called. The {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop was checked through and Khangah bet the {4-Diamonds} turn for 40,000, Sammartino called.

On the {9-Spades} river, Khangah moved all in and Sammartino, who appeared to have 165,000 behind, called. Khangah showed {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair on the river and Sammartino held {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for flopped two pair that were no longer good.

Dvoress Jams Into Petrangelo

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 10,000 on the button and Patrik Antonius simply moved all in from the small blind, forcing a fold from Sam Greenwood in the big blind and Kisacikoglu.

Soon after, Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 10,000 and Nick Petrangelo in the cutoff three-bet to 26,000. Thorel called and the flop brought {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Thorel checked, Petrangelo bet 35,000 and folded to a quick check-raise to 75,000 by Thorel.

Petrangelo raised to 10,000 the next hand and Daniel Dvoress came along out of the big blind. On the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} flop, Dvoress checked and called 6,000. The {9-Spades} turn was checked and Dvoress' shove on the {7-Hearts} river claimed the pot without showdown.

Eibinger Takes It on the River

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger raised to 11,000 and Sergio Aido from one seat over opted to call, all other players folded. On the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, Eibinger and Aido both checked. Eibinger bet the {3-Hearts} turn for 22,500 and Aido came along before the {K-Clubs} on the river paired the board.

Eibinger bet 57,000 and that was enough to shut down all further resistance of the Spaniard, as Aido folded.
