The Casino Barcelona is buzzing right now. Less than one hour ago the €80+8 Side Event "The Thunder" got underway and the tournament initially had a guarantee of €10,000. There is little need to worry about making the guarantee, as just two levels in there are already 150 entries. Whether or not it will finish tonight remains to be seen, as new tables are being opened as soon as the previous ones from the €220 Opening Event are breaking.
Another big pot just took place as the level moved up and it was Philippe Noble who sent two players to the rail. One of them was Francesc Xavier Guixeras Giner, who put his hopes on . A new player that had just arrived got his stack in with after his raise to 1,700 was met by a three-bet of Noble and the shove of the Spaniard.
Noble had both opponents covered and tabled . The board came and the tens held up to eliminate two hopefuls.
Laura Gallardo Ribot had been able to boost her stack to around 40,000, but that fortune didn't last long. After defending her big blind, she got into a big pot with Douglas Wheatland and check-called a bet worth 5,000 on the river. Wheatland showed for the nut flush and Gallardo Ribot mucked, fell back down to around starting stack.
The players have been sent into their first 15-minute break of the day, according to the screens there are 140 hopefuls out of a 153-entry strong field remaining.
