One day of pot-limit Omaha is in the books, and it's time for Day 2 of PokerStars Championship Barcelona €10,300 PLO High Roller.
The tournament drew a hefty field of 111 runners, of which 21 survived. The first order of business on Day 2 will be to burst the bubble, as 15 of those 21 players will make the money. Based on the pace of play last night, that's likely to happen fairly early in the day, even with the deep stacks — the current average is north of 50 big blinds.
One of the players who pushed the action most was Jan "PerpetualCzech" Suchanek, who splashed his way through Day 1 to the tune of bagging more than 20 starting stacks. His 1,087,000 gives him a wide lead heading into the final day over second-place Laszlo Bujtas and his 598,500.
Plenty of stiff competition remains, including Yuri Martins, Ben Tollerene, Peter Eichhardt and $10K PLO bracelet winner Jan-Peter Jachtmann.
The plan for Day 2 is to play down to a champion, who will claim €277,000 in prize money. To get there, they'll play through 45-minute levels once again, starting at 2,500/5,000. There will be breaks every three levels. Stay tuned here on PokerNews to see who will be the four-card champ of Barcelona.
