Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ibrahim Ghassan
Ibrahim Ghassan

Uri Reichenstein opened to 80,000 in early position and Ibrahim Ghassan moved all in for 325,000 a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Reichenstein who made an easy call.

Uri Reichenstein: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Ibrahim Ghassan: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Reichenstein was still in the lead with his pair of nines. The {k-Clubs} on the turn improved him to a full house and held on through the {3-Diamonds} river to eliminate Ghassan.

Salter Eliminates Khamidullin

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Timur Khamidullin
Timur Khamidullin

Jack Salter raised it up from the hijack and Timur Khamidullin shipped all in for his last 190,000 in the big blind. Salter quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Jack Salter: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Timur Khamidullin: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Salter was in bad shape but the flop of {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} helped him out significantly. The {4-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river couldn't save Khamidullin as he headed to the payout desk.

It folded to Chris Hunichen in the small blind who moved all in with Anton Wigg sitting on 440,000 in the big blind. Hunichen covered his opponent and Wigg called and was all in.

Chris Hunichen: {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Anton Wigg: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

There was a king on the flop of {k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} giving Hunichen the lead. He held on the {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} runout and sent Wigg to the rail as the first casualty of Day 3.

Just 26 Remain in €10,300 High Roller; Plays Down to a Winner Today

€10,300 EPT Barcelona High Roller
€10,300 EPT Barcelona High Roller

A gruelling day is in the offing here on Day 3 of the European Poker Tour Barcelona €10,300 High Roller as the remaining players must play down to a winner.

From a field of 540 just 26 remain, with Lander Lijo heading the chip counts with 2,050,000. That's good enough for 66 big blinds and with the average at less than 35 big blinds, the pace of bustouts, at least initially, should be pretty regular

Behind Lijo comes Antonios Paschalidis (2,015,000) and Timur Khamidullin (2,000,000), whilst at the bottom of the counts Jack Salter (300,000), Anton Siden (320,000), Guillaume Nolet (430,000) and Anton Wigg (445,000) will hope a good start can reignite their prospects of taking down the title.

The tournament is played with a shot clock and players will receive three extra time extensions at the start of play today, as well as three upon making the final table.

Stay tuned to PokerNews to follow all the live action right here from the Casino Barcelona.
