Day 2 of the massive European Poker Tour Barcelona €10,300 High Roller has come to a close. Just 21 players remain in the event, which means play could take quite some time on Day 3 to crown a winner. No matter how long it takes, though, tomorrow will see someone walk away a champion and €747,200 richer.
Leading the survivors at the end of the night was Ami Barer, winner of the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event back in January. Barer just outdid Ismail Erkenov at the end of the night thanks to an added boost from busting Benny Spindler in the final hand. He'll take 1.953 million into Day 3, while Erkenov bagged up 1.92 million.
Plenty of other notables are remaining in the field, including one Team PokerStars Pro and one PokerStars Team Online member. Jason Mercier is that of the former, and he finished with 888,000. Marc-Andre Ladouceur is that of the latter, and while he may be predominantly an online player, he was able to bag up 909,000 in this major live event.
Then there's Stephen Chidwick (1.491 million), Dario Sammartino (1.031 million), Alexander Roumeliotis (790,000), Vladimir Troyanovskiy (554,000), Nicolas Chouity (545,000), Juha Helppi (472,000), Dylan Linde (400,000), and Angel Guillen (269,000). Needless to say, the final day won't be lacking any firepower.
Day 3 will commence at 12 p.m. local time, and you can find the starting seat draw below:

: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Benny Spindler, winner of European Poker Tour high roller events in Sanremo and Tallinn, won't be getting a third high roller title in this event as he was just eliminated short of making Day 3, falling in 22nd place.
After Ami Barer raised to 40,000 from under the gun, Spindler three-bet shoved for approximately 180,000 from the cutoff seat. Play folded back to Barer, and he quickly called after getting an eyeball of Spindler's stack.
Barer had the 
, and Spindler the 
.
The flop hit Barer better than it did Spindler when the 
fell. The turn was the 
, and that left Spindler down to just one final card to hit either an ace or a nine. When the 
was put out on fifth street, Spindler knew he was done for and made his way to the exit. Barer stacked up the new chips and just might be the end-of-day chip leader because of it.
