Ryan Fee Leads After a Record-Breaking Day 1

 

Day 1 of the €50,000 Super High Roller from European Poker Tour Barcelona has come to a close. This event marked a spectacular start to the 100th EPT event ever held, and an elite record-breaking field of competitors were in the mix.

 

The biggest story of the day was that of the size of the field. At the completion of play, things had grown to 56 unique entries with 15 reentries. That meant a total of 71 entries and the largest €50,000 Super High Roller in Barcelona history. What's more is that players still have the option to enter and reenter up until the start of play on Day 2, which will be on Tuesday at 12 p.m. local time. If you just happen to have an extra €50,000 lying around, Casino Barcelona is where the action will be.

 

Following the completion of the first eight levels of play — of which players began with 250,000 in chips — Ryan Fee finished on top of the leaderboard with 919,000 in his stack.

 

Fee scored two big eliminations to highlight his day. First, he busted Dong Kim with ace-king versus tens by hitting a king on the flop. Then right at the end of the day, Fee sent Mike McDonald packing. It was McDonald's second time busting the event, but he will still be able to reenter once more before Day 2 begins.

 

Among the faces in the field for Day 1 were Dan Smith and Vitaly Lunkin, both former champions of this event. Smith won the inaugural €50,000 Super High Roller in Barcelona, an event that took place in Season 9. Lunkin is the defending champion of the event after having topped the field in Season 10. Both players survived the first starting day and will be back in action on Day 2 in their continued quest for a second title.

 

Also moving on to Day 2 was Erik Seidel. What's interesting about Seidel is that he made the final table in both Season 9 and Season 10 in this event, meaning an appearance this year would earn him three in a row. McDonald also achieved this feat, but it will left to be determined as to whether or not he will enter for a third time and chase a third final table.

 

Then there were 2014 WSOP November Niners Jorryt van Hoof and Martin Jacobson. Van Hoof is the chip leader of the WSOP Main Event and started at the same table as his fellow November Niner. The two got in some early practice hands against one another, but Jacobson was moved a couple hours into the day, so any more playing experience will have to wait until later on.

 

Other notables advancing to Day 2 were Team PokerStars Pros Jason Mercier, Vanessa Selbst, and Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu has fired two bullets in the event, but he's got more than enough big buy-in experience to justify his reentry actions.

 

All of the remaining players will be back on Tuesday at 12 p.m. local time for Day 2, and anyone who has busted can still reenter up until that point. New players may also buy in up until the start time, and word on the street is that there could be a few brand new competitors to start the day.

Negreanu Doesn't Hit

 

 

Saar Wilf opened the hijack for 21,000, and Morten Klein (cutoff), Daniel Negreanu (button), and Dong Kim (big blind) made the call.

 

Kim checked to Wilf on 5d.gif2h.gif7h.gif, and the initial raiser made a 27,000 continuation bet. Klein folded, but Negreanu moved all in. Negreanu had 194,000 total, and Kim thought about it for some time, before folding. Wilf made the call.

 

"You're a small underdog" said Negreanu with a smile before turning over his hand. Negreanu in fact had just about 35% to win the hand, as his 3h.gif4h.gif wasn't as live as he hoped for with ah.gif10h.gif for Wilf.

 

The qs.gif on the turn was a blank, and Negreanu told his masseuse he needed a trey, four, ace, or six. The 2s.gif on the river wasn't one of his outs, and he was left with just 54,000.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated

 

 

Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated from the tournament. The one responsible: Morten Klein.

 

"What? Again?" asked Negreanu rhetorically with a smile as his 8s.gif2s.gif was in trouble on 3s.gif6s.gif6d.gif. Klein in the small blind had qs.gif10s.gif and had Negreanu in the big blind drawing slim.

 

The 9s.gif on the turn gave both players a flush, and Negreanu got up from the table; "Ok, that's it for me." The da.gif on the river didn't change a thing, and Klein started stacking.
