Ready for Action on Day 2 of the €50,000 Super High Roller
Yesterday was the warm up, and today is what matters. That's because yesterday, on Day 1, players were able to reenter if they busted, but today it's a freeze-out like we all know too well.
As of the end of play last night, 56 unique players entered the tournament with 16 reentries were made. That brought the total amount of entries to 72, which was a record for this Barcelona event. Players are allowed to enter or reenter up until the start of play today, and more than likely we'll see the field size increase.
One of the players that might decide to make one more contribution to the prize pool is Mike McDonald. He already reentered once, but he busted in one of the last hands of the day on Day 1. Responsible for McDonald's elimination was Ryan Fee, who was having a pretty good day already. Fee finished the first eight levels of play with the chip lead, bagging up 919,000.
Play will resume at 12 p.m. local time, playing either 10 levels or down to the final eight players.
PokerNews will be on site for coverage of all the important hands, bad beats, and suck outs, so be sure to stay tuned right here for the upcoming coverage. Also, PokerStars.tv will have a live-streamed feature table for you, starting at noon as well.

Perfect Start for Klein
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Morten Klein started out as the shortest stack, but in the first few hands he already doubled twice. We missed his first double up, but we were on sight to witness the second in all it's glory.
Vanessa Selbst opened the hijack for 13,000, and right next to her Morten Klein pushed all in for 176,000 from the cut off. Daniel Colman on the button asked how much Klein was playing, and looked and informed himself of the other stacks behind him as well. He then called, and all others folded.
Klein showed

, 
, 
, and 
on the turn didn't change anything anymore. Klein is now playing 382,000, while Colman still has 302,000 left.
