There are 207 survivors coming back for Day 3 of the €5,000 EPT Barcelona Main Event from the 600 players who started Day 2.

John Juanda is the chip leader.  Juanda, one of the game's established stars, has numerous six-figure scores across the world - one of them coming on the EPT in London, where he finished runner-up to David Vamplew in September 2010

After counting heads for the best part of two days, administrators finally determined that the record-breaking field weighed in at 1,082 players, meaning a prize pool of €5,247,700. The winner's cheque will be written for €1,007,550, the biggest ever given to a main event champion through nine visits to Catalonia.
