Only 26 players are set to return for the third and final day of the �2,200 Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT) High Roller at the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona, all of whom will have their eyes on the �600,000 first place prize.
Berthold Winz leads the way after storming to the top of the standings yesterday with a 93 big blind stack, and he holds a substantial lead over his two closest challengers, American Rania Nasreddine and Bulgarian Anton Kraous.
Winz is looking for his second EPT title, after triumphing in Event 59, �1,000 Hyper Turbo Freezeout in 2023. Nasreddine's career-best score is the �442,900 she received for her third place finish in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event this year, and she'll be hoping to top that today. Kraous is also no stranger to EPT events, and he will be aiming to better his second place in the �3,000 Mystery Bounty in Monte Carlo last year.
American Cherish Andrews also found a top ten stack, and will be a dangerous presence in the final day. She boasts over $2,000,000 in career earnings and will be aiming to make her first live tournament cash in Europe a big one.

Alex Sampirisi opened from under the gun to 200,000 and action folded to Marian Dicu who jammed from the big blind for around 2,500,000 chips. Sampirisi called and the players flipped their cards.
Marian Dicu: 7?7?
Alex Sampirisi: JxJx
The flop came A?4?A?, with Dicu still needing to improve to stay alive.
The 4? turn and 10? river didn't change anything, and Dicu was eliminated in 26th place for 15,000 EUR, and Sampirisi built an even bigger stack.

In a preflop confrontation Mitchell Garshofsky was all-in from the small blind for around 800,000 and up against Berthold Winz who covered him from the cutoff.
Mitchell Garshofsky: A?Q?
Berthold Winz: 8?8?
Winz was ahead on the 4?K?3? flop until the Q? turn gave Garshofsky second pair and the lead, leaving Winz drawing to just two outs. Winz drilled a set on the 8? river to send Garshofsky to the rail and take the pot.
