Those who weren't fortunate enough to find a bag include Thomas Boivin, Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau, Niklas Astedt, Hall of Famer Erik Seidel and PokerStars ambassador’s Parker Talbot, Ramon Colillas, and Alejandro Lococo.
Day 2 action will pick up Saturday, September 2 at 12:30 p.m. local time and will play 60-minute levels with a 20-minute break after every second level. The day will begin on Level 11 with blinds of 1,000/1,500/1,500.
Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team will be back on-site tomorrow as EPT Barcelona starts wrapping up.

All the tables have stopped playing, and players are now bagging their chips, marking the end of Day 1 of the €10,300 EPT High Roller.
Stay tuned for the chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
In the last few hands, Michel Dattani raised to 2,500 from middle position and was called by 2023 PSPC finalist Thomas Eychenne on the button, and Sung Hyun in the big blind.
After the flop 10♣3♥7♥, Hyun and Dattani checked to Eychenne, who bet 2,200. But Hyun decided to check-raise to 5,600. Dattani quickly folded, then Eychenne four-bet all in for 30,000 chips. Fortunately for him, Hyun folded.

The clock is now stopped on 11 minutes and 39 seconds. Five more hands will be played today before the end.
Peter Jorgne opened 2,800 under the gun and Giuliano Bendinelli three-bet jammed for 25,500 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back to Jorgne and he made the call.
Giuliano Bendinelli: 10♥10♦
Peter Jorgne: A♦Q♦
It was a classic flip and the K♥9♥8♠6♠7♠ run out gave Bendinelli a straight as he remained seated nearing the end of the night.

After an open by Patrick Bruel on the button, Aram Sargsyan in the small blind three-bet all in for 24,200 chips. Bruel took one earpiece out of his ear, and asked for the count twice. He eventually called.
Aram Sargsyan: A♠9♠
Patrick Bruel: 3♣3♠
Both players were nervous when the dealer revealed the flop 6♣Q♦J♥ and the turn 8♠. But after the river 4♣, Bruel was relieved, while Sargsyan was eliminated.

Three players saw the A♠6♠2♣ flop and both Dimitar Danchev and Gyuhuk Lee checked to Daniel Rezaei who fired 2,100 into the pot of about 7,000. Only Danchev made the call.
When the 3♣ hit the turn, Danchev check-called another bet of 17,000 from Rezaei.
The 7♥ completed the board, and Danchev checked once more before Rezaei announced all-in. Danchev had about 54,000 behind and tank for about a minute before tossing his cards into the muck.
