Kozlov Doubles Through Sekularac

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Down to about 29,000, Martin Kozlov shoved all in when Ognjen Sekularac opened to 4,500 on his right in middle position. Sekularac called after some brief thought

Kozlov: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Sekularac: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The SHRPO Main Event champ looked out the door after {k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flopped to give the Serbian a big lead. However a {q-Hearts} arrived and Kozlov suddenly needed to dodge tens and hearts. A red card fell, but it was the {4-Diamonds}.

Three-Bet Pot to Owen

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Helio Neves opened for a raise to 4,500 in middle position and Adam Owen made it 13,000 in the cutoff. Neves peeled and they both checked the flop for a board of {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Neves bet 13,000 and Owen called. On the {6-Clubs} river, Neves checked and Owen patted his own arm to get to showdown.

Neves opened {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a missed flush and Owen took it with {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

O'Dwyer Three-Barrels

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Nicolas Chouity and Steve O'Dwyer saw a {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop for what looked to be the minimum in the blinds. Chouity check-called 3,000. He check-called another 7,600 on the {6-Hearts} and checked the {k-Clubs} river. O'Dwyer fired a third barrel for 16,500. Chouity called again and showed {8-Spades}{5-Clubs} when O'Dwyer revealed a worthless {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, having missed a combo draw.

Bedell Gets A Birthday Present

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell
Tom-Aksel Bedell

Tom-Aksel Bedell had 7,000 in front of him and Martin Kozlov had moved in from the small blind. After thinking it over for a bit, Bedell called all in for 30,700 total.

Martin Kozlov: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Tom-Aksel Bedell: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

"Don't forget it's my birthday," smiled Bedell. After the {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, the {7-Spades} fell on the turn to give Bedell the lead.

"There's my birthday present," he grinned.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and the winner of the Senior's event earlier this week doubled up.

Day 2 of the €10,300 High Roller Continues At 12:30 p.m.

Adrian Mateos Looking For Another Big Score
Adrian Mateos Looking For Another Big Score

Another massive field gathered for the first Day of the 2017 PokerStars Championship Barcelona €10,300 High Roller. In what is perhaps the most popular €10k tournament on European soil, 542 entries were already made during the first ten hours of play. The field eclipsed the 500-runner mark for the third year in a row and is likely to increase even further with late registration being open until the cards are underway for Day 2 at 12.30 p.m. local time.

Leading the way is Spain's David Lopez Llacer, who bagged 362,100 on Day 1. A slew of notables have the Spaniard in their sights, with Markus Durnegger (315,500), Adrian Mateos (299,800), Christopher Kruk (292,900) and Raul Martinez (281,500) rounding out the top 5. Online prodigy Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger (274,200) and EPT13 Prague winner Jasper Meijer van Putten (230,100) also sit near the top of the leaderboard.

The red spade will be represented by Jake Cody (204,500) Bertrand "ElkY Grospellier (125,000), Jeff Gross (111,300), and Felipe "Mojave" Ramos (104,000). Daniel Negreanu fell by the wayside on the first day and is out of reentries.

Like yesterday, 10 levels of 60-minutes each are scheduled with a 75-minute dinner break after level 14. Blinds will resume in the 1,000/2,000 level with a running ante of 300, giving those who jump in at the latest possible time a fresh stack of 25 big blinds to work with. As the registration is still open, the Day 2 seat draw won't be published until the cards are in the air, and payouts are expected to be finalized within the first two levels of play.
