EPT BARCELONA: CARRUGGI GRABS LEAD LATE, LEADERS BRACE FOR SELBST ATTACK

PHOTO/SOURCE: POKERNEWS.com

It's almost money bubble time at EPT Barcelona. Another large group of players made their way to the exit of Casino Barcelona, we're down to 141 players (from a impressive 811 start) and for the second straight day, we have a Frenchman.

A late surge has given Xavier Carruggi the chip lead heading into Day 3. He takes over from fellow countryman Guillaume Darcout who had the chip lead when we started Monday's play. Darcourt is still Top 10 in chips.

You can bet that those Top 10 players are looking over their shoulder. Lurking right outside the Top 10 is PTPR #66 ranked player Vanessa Selbst. Don't be fooled by Selbst's "low" rating, she is, by far, one of the most feared players at the poker table and she may just be on the verge of taking this tournament by storm - watch out for Selbst on Tuesday.
