The European Poker Tour Barcelona €25,000 One Day High Roller failed to end in a single day. Martin Finger, Liv Boeree and Mark Teltscher will resume their three-way battle on Thursday.

PokerStars.

That word conjured a meaning like never before, as the European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona €25,000 One Day High Roller attracted, not only the pick of the world’s top poker players, but two of the world’s greatest footballers.

PokerStars ambassador Neymar Jr and his Barcelona team mate Gerard Pique took their seats alongside 150 other entrants in another huge event, this time creating a €3.7m prize pool. The tournament was such a stunning success that 16-hours later the event had to be curtailed with three very tired players remaining.
