The PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour continues today for Day 2 of €2,200 Estrellas Poker Tour High Roller. Swiss Emil Bise is the chip leader as he bagged 823,000 in flight 1a to lead the final 326 players heading into Day 2. The one time WSOP bracelet winner ran deep in the €1,100 EPT Main Event before eventually being eliminated by eventually runner up Jack Sinclair after Bise's ace-king was cracked by Sinclair's king-queen for a payday of €24,270. Bise will be hoping he runs better in this tournament to reach the final table and have a shot of being crowned the champion.
