EPT BARCELONA: DUDA DOMINATES DAY 3 HEADLINES


While we have several interesting names still alive at EPT Barcelona, it's the name Duda that grabbed most of the headlines on Tuesday.

With only 61 of the original 1,082 still in contention in the Main Event, online qualifier Antonin Duda (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) is the man to beat as players prepare for what should be an action-packed Day 4 in Barcelona.



While Duda had most of the poker world buzzing, other name players are hoping that EPT Barcelona is theirs for the taking ...

The man known to most of the poker world as Zigmund, Ilari Sahamies (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-940th), is third in chips heading into Wednesday play. Zigmund is no stranger to huge moments (although they usually happen in NLH cash games, at nosebleed stakes).

Right behind Sahamies is poker superstar John Juanda (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-582nd). Juanda, a five-time WSOP bracelet winner, has had success on the European Poker Tour. He finished second to David Vamplew at EPT London in 2010.

2008 Olympic Gold Medalist Fatima Moreira de Melo (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) closes out the Top 5. The three-time Olympian (field hockey, Netherlands) will certainly be playing at a Championship level on Wednesday.

EPT Loutraki champion Zimnan Ziyard (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 198th) and EPT Grand Final runner-up Lucille Cailly (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 163rd) both hold Top 10 chip stacks.
