Day 3: Dario Sammartino Leads the 23 Last Players of the EPT Cyprus $10,300 High Roller

For the last time of the festival, players are going to walk by the sea to join the tournament area at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Spa. But for 23 of them, there is still hope to win $787,400 as they qualified for Day 3 of the $10,300 EPT Cyprus High Roller, one of the last tournaments of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus.

Dario Sammartino is even closer to this prize as he finished Day 2 as the chip leader with 2,210,000 chips. Just a few days ago, he placed 29th in the $5,300 EPT Main Event, winning $24,700. Now, he'll try to take the first place in the High Roller. However, on his way, he'll encounter players like Martin Diaz (1,855,000) and Nariman Yaghmai (1,330,000), the second and third stacks for Day 3.

Day 2 Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Dario Sammartino	Italy	2,210,000	111
2	Martin Diaz	Argentina	1,855,000	93
3	Nariman Yaghmai	Iran	1,330,000	67
4	Selahaddin Bedir	Turkey	1,205,000	60
5	Adrian Mateos	Spain	1,090,000	55
6	Nicolas Vayssieres	France	1,045,000	52
7	[Removed:452]	Montenegro	1,000,000	50
8	Danil Rafikov	Russia	1,000,000	50
9	Ilia Pavlov	Russia	980,000	49
10	Markkos Ladev	Estonia	960,000	48

Day 1 chipleader Selahaddin Bedir also bagged over one million chips (1,205,000), just a few blinds more than one of the favorites, Adrian Mateos, and his 1,090,000 chips. Holding a big stack during Day 2, Markkos Ladev didn't make it to the million (960,000), but still has more than forty blinds for Day 3, like Pablo Silva (890,000) for example.

With smaller stacks, Kuljinder Sidhu (500,000) or Pedro Neves (490,000) will try to join the final table, hoping for more, while Alex Peffly and his eight blinds (160,000) will have to quickly double to stay in the tournament.

The action will start at 12:30 p.m. local time on Level 22, with blinds of 10,000-20,000 and a 20,000 big blind ante. Levels are still 60 minutes long, with a 15-minute break every two levels. It will continue like this until the final table, where levels will be shortened to 45 minutes when there are 4 or 5 players left and to 30 minutes at 3 left. The remaining players are already guaranteed $33,600 for making it this far.

Pablo Silva, after losing the previous hand in the big blind, sat in the small blind and was involved in a pot against Markkos Ladev in the big blind. With 125,000 already in the middle, Ladev made a pot-sized bet on the Q♥7♣7♥10♠6♠ completed board after Silva had checked.

Silva put in the call without much hesitation but mucked his cards when Ladev tabled Q♣7♦ for a flopped full house.
