The cash bubble burst at the European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Main Event Tuesday, leaving simply 303 gamers with chips entering into Wednesday’s Day 3. Russia’s Eduard Barsegyan is the leader with 835,000 chips, while Ioannis Zachmanidis has 802,000, the just other gamer with over 800,000. Hiding in 3rd location is Antoine Labat, who ended up ninth in the 2018 World Series of Poker Main Event.
The other day, we were hoping that there were suffice registrations to break in 2015’s record for the biggest EPT Barcelona field ever, however it didn’t rather take place. In the end, there were 2,120 entries, 1,593 of them distinct, making this not simply the second-largest EPT Barcelona Main Event of perpetuity, however likewise the second-largest European Poker Tour Main Event in general. This year’s and in 2015’s Main Event are the only EPT Main Events to draw over 2,000 entries.
There is constantly a bubble young boy (or woman) in a poker competition. No one wishes to be that individual, though I think it indicates you still had a good run, however somebody constantly comes agonizingly close, one hand away, from making the cash. The bubble young boy the other day was Juan Maceiras.
Holding Q-9 of hearts, Maceiras was all-in for his last 92,000 on a flop of 9-4-7. Respectable area to decide with leading set, great kicker. Jeffrey Hakim, however, had pocket Fours for a tumbled set. A Queen on the turn offered Maceiras a ray of hope, given that he might now make a capacity. That turn card wasn’t a welcome sight for much of the other gamers, however they were all able to commemorate when the turn bricked and Hakim took the pot. Everyone staying was now ensured a minimum of EUR8,850.
That ended up being the last hand of the day, so the gamers who bagged chips all might have a good night, pleased in understanding that no matter what took place on Wednesday, they had actually made the cash. That’s not always adequate for lots of, however it is still a relief to some degree, even for those whose sights are set directly on the last table.
