Nick Petrangelo Leads Star-Studded Field After Day 1 of the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
After eight 60-minute levels of play in the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller here at the 2022 PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour, it was Nick Petrangelo coming out on top of this star-studded lineup. Petrangelo bagged 1,250,000 and will return to Day 2 looking to keep that momentum going in hopes of a deep run.
A whopping 63 entries joined today to generate a prize pool of €6,112,260, and with late registration and reentries still open until the start of Day 2, will sure to be even more. A total of 42 bagged a stack for Day 2 tomorrow but will have a long way to go to take down this prestigious event. This year is approaching the amount of entries for 2019 as that event had 64 entries total and with registration still open should surpass that number.
