Dia 2 Começado
Nick Petrangelo leads the final 42 players, but Neymar has stolen the show at the €100,000 Super High Roller.
The Brazilian soccer superstar, a day after scoring two goals in a game in Paris, arrived at the 2022 PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour and fired two bullets before bagging a top-10 stack with 532,000.
Petrangelo, the American pro already with $24 million in career live earnings, sits atop the leaderboard when Day 2 begins at 12:30 local time inside Casino Barcelona. Petrangelo busted Kahle Burns with a flopped full house late on Day 1 to leap past Artur Martirosian into the chip lead with 1,250,000. Martirosian, who has already won the €25,000 event earlier at EPT Barcelona, is in second with 1,046,000.
Petrangelo and Martirosian are the only players above 1,000,000. Rounding out the top five are Daniel Dvoress (840,000), David Peters (727,000), and Mikita Badziakouski (720,000), who won this event the first time it was a €100,000 buy-in back in 2018.

A total of 63 entries joined on Day 1, including 50 unique entries, nearly surpassing the number from the last event in 2019. With late registration still open until the start of Day 2, that mark should easily be eclipsed. The prize pool will be announced shortly after registration closes. Patrik Antonius, Sam Greenwood, and Burns were among the players who failed to bag on Day 1 and will be forced to reeneter today if they want a chance at winning this prestigious title.
Play will pick up on Level 9, with blinds at 3,000-6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante. There will be a 20-minute break every two levels. The tournament will play down to a final table today, which will be streamed with cards-up coverage by PokerStars Live on Twitch and Youtube tomorrow.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand throughout today as the field gets whittled down toward the money bubble and the final table.
Nível: 9
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
The players have taken their seats and unbagged their chips, and Day 2 is now underway.
