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.
