Nick Petrangelo experienced a most excellent start to the PokerStars.es EPT13 Barcelona festival after winning the initial €10k Single Re-Entry tournament yesterday for a payday of €413,000. Petrangelo, who has now recorded more than $6 Million in cashes, beat a 240-entry strong field and just registered for the Super High Roller.
Around 35,000 chips found their way to the middle of the table already and the flop came 
. Chance Kornuth checked out of the big blind and Mikhail Rudoy checked back from early position.
On the 
turn, Kornuth bet 20,000 and Rudoy called before the 
river completed the board. Kornuth bet 40,000 and Rudoy folded.
While dragging in the pot, Kornuth looked over to the other table and spotted Sergey Lebedev. "Que pasa?" he asked and Lebedev grinned back, replying "Don't be so strong with my buddy, he is not so experienced in these tournaments. Be friendly."
German juggernaut Fedor Holz, who amassed almost 15 million dollar in winnings this year alone, is off to a good start in this tournament. He opened under the gun to 3,500 and got a call from Manuchehr Ahadpur Khangah, a businessman from Azerbaijan.
Both players checked the 
flop. Holz led out 3,500 on the 
turn, and Khangah quickly called. On the 
river, the German bet 4,500 and Khangah quickly folded.
Sylvain Loosli just entered the event. The French former November Niner won this event last year, beating a 99-player field for €1,224,000.
Max Silver and Daniel Dvoress shared their starting table but were since moved to accommodate the growing field size. Sure enough both found themselves at the same table again and got into a pot that saw around 15,000 chips in the middle with the board reading 
.
Silver checked out of the big blind and Dvoress bet 13,000, which Silver called. On the 
river, Silver checked and Dvoress moved all in. "How much?" Silver quickly called. Once it was determined to be 140,300, Silver added "good bet" and folded half a minute later.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 3,000 from the hijack and Tom-Aksel Bedell three-bet from the button to 7,000. Troyanovskiy called and the pair saw a flop of 
. Troyanovskiy checked and Bedell bet 2,500. Troyanovskiy called.
The turn 
was checked by both players and on the river, which was the 
, Troyanovskiy bet a hefty 15,000. Bedell called quickly and watched as his opponent turned over 
. Bedell could beat that however, as he showed 
to scoop the pot.
We ran into Dietrich Fast in the hallway and he told us the details of his bust-out hand. It was, once again, Niall Farrell taking his chips.
Action folded to Farell on the button and he made it 3,000 to go. From the small blind, Fast three-bet to 10,500 with 
and Farrell called.
The flop came 
and Fast check-called a bet of 8,500. The on the turn made him check-call another 28,000 and the 
completed the board. Fast checked a third time and called off his 60,000 remaining stack with his rivered two pair. Unfortunately for Fast, Farrell turned over 
for a set and Fast made his exit.
After taking a big hit early on, Sam Greenwood just recovered and won a small pot. Jack Salter opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Julian Stuer called, as did Greenwood in the cutoff.
The flop came 
and all three players checked. After the turn, action checked to Greenwood and he bet 8,400. That was good enough to win the pot, as his two opponents both folded.
On a flop of 
, Julian Thomas checked in the big blind and Moritz Dietrich bet 3,000 in the cutoff. Thomas now check-raised to 11,000 and was called.
After the turn, Thomas bet 20,000 and received a call before the 
river went check, check. Thomas flipped over 
for a straight and scooped the pot.
