As the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona crosses the halfway mark, high rollers have one last chance to play for the largest stakes in the €50,000 Super High Roller Second Chancewhich gets underway at 8 p.m. local time.
Last year, Israeli businessman Tom Orpaz overcame a 24-entry field in this event to claim the €442,440 first-place prize. Impressively, the victory was Orpaz’s second in quick succession, having taken down a €25k High Roller event earlier in the same series for an additional €255,480 here at Casino Barcelona.
