Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Alisan Holozlu has enjoyed a great day at the felt so far, and he has claimed yet another victim to move to within raising distance of the chip lead in the room. We joined the action from the turn on a board showing , whereupon Holozlu bet 178,000 and Joentausta (pictured, left) called it off.

The river of saw Holozlu shove all-in for around 504,000 but he was quickly called by Joentausta, who showed . Holozlu turned over , however, and he stacked up 1,900,000 in chips as his opponent left the tournament. Holozlu has every chance here of what would be an incredible breakthrough on the live circuit. The German has just one cash for under $3,000 in a Eureka event last year, so however his Main Event ends, it will be his best result to date. He could yet be the last man standing here in Spain and win over €1.12m.

The Best Preparation

[user326915]

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The best players do their best to prepare for a big tournament in the most optimal way they can, and the November Niner still in the EPT Main Event field, Vojtech Ruzicka, is no different. Everything has been completely different for him since he made the final nine of the World Series of Poker Main Event and his life is narrowing in on that date with poker destiny in a few months time. He admits to us that he never understood how big that aspect of his success in the tournament would be.

"My original plan was to do more intense preparation, disappear almost," he told us at the latest break here in Barcelona. "That's proved impossible, really. I play for Kings in Rozvadov and enjoyed the cash games a lot there in recent weeks. Now I'm here. But if I run deep in the EPT Main Event, there's no better preparation for November."

Sharing a table with players such as Jason Mercier and Morten Mortensen today for example, seems to be focusing Vojtech's mind on taking on eight more elite players very soon.

"I really want to win. I hope so much that I can win. There are many ways to prepare, and I will do them. Right now I have 610,000 in the Main, so I will do my best here too."

As Ruzicka returns to the action, he'll be under the lights and sharing the feature table with Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier among others. When it comes to Vojtech Ruzicka, you get the feeling that every hand, every decision, every move points to Vegas and the game of his life. Maybe, just maybe, he might bag an EPT victory in the build up.
