When we last checked in with the record breaking EPT11 Barcelona High Roller they were approaching the top of a protracted 11 level slog of an afternoon 2. 176 players had already been reduced to 31, Ismaeil Erkenov led the best way with 45 minutes to move and tournament staff predicted that around 21 players would make it to the general day.
When play did wrap up, at around 1.45am local time, the tournament staff were proven to be bang at the money as 21 players bagged and tagged their chips. In pole position to win the primary prize of €747,200 was Ami Barer. The Aussie Millions champion ended the day on 1,953,000 to steer a listing of well-known players.
At the beginning of play he was just over a large blind prior to long-time leader Erkenov (1,920,000) whilst Dmitry Yurasov (5th, EPT10 Vienna High Roller) was third with 1,900,000. Others with healthy stacks as Day 3 started at noon local time were: Day 1 chip-leader Stephen Chidwick (1,491,000), Ihar Soika (1,630,000) and Dario Sammartino (1,031.000).
There's still some Team PokerStars interest too as Marc-Andre Ladouceur (909,000) and Jason Mercier made it through to the general day. As did Juha Helppi (472,000), EPT Grand Final winner Nicolas Chouity (545,000) and Angel Guillen (269,000).
