Several other notables have joined the field including Chino Rheem and Adrian Mateos.

Rheem checked a {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} turn over to Mateos who bet 1,300. Rheem called and the pair checked the {2-Clubs} river.

Rheem showed {a-Clubs}{3-Spades} for the two pair on the board and ace-high, with Mateos showing {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a better two pair.

"I knew I should have raised," said Rheem. "Just 20x the river!"

Welcome to the €10,300 EPT High Roller to round out the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona festival. After a week of Super High Rollers and Single Day High Rollers, this particular High Roller is steeped in history and is one that any poker player would be delighted to win.

From just 36 players back in 2010, it has steadily increased to regularly attract more than 400 entries, with last year's field of 439 players topped by Max Silver, who defeated Norbert Szecsi heads-up to win €600,924 after a three-way deal with the Hungarian and third-place finisher Joris Ruijs.
