As we arrived, the flop was already out and Steffen Sontheimer (big blind) and Jimmy Guerrero (under the gun) had already checked. The third neighbor, Sam Greenwood sitting under the gun plus one, bet 3,000. Sontheimer check raised to 9,000 and Guerrero quickly got out of the way. Greenwood called.
The 
hit the turn and Sontheimer carefully tapped the table. Greenwood bet 9,000 and Sontheimer called.
Sontheimer checked again as the 
completed the board bringing a fourth heart on the paired board. Greenwood took his time before announcing a bet of 22,000. Sontheimer called, but mucked upon being shown 
by Greenwood.

Today, it's time for the first of 2 Single-Day High Rollers here at the PokerStars Championship Barcelona. In the main room, Day 1b of the Main Event will get underway. But the high rollers with €25,500 to spare, clutter up in a different room to battle it out for another PokerStars spade and the accompanying prize money.
Play gets underway at 12:30 local time (in about 90 minutes) and players start with 100,000 in chips. Levels are 30 minutes long and start with 500/1,000 with a 100-ante. A single reentry is allowed, handing over another €25,500 secures you another start stack if you bust within the first 8 levels.
The Single-Day High Roller is a fixture on the PokerStars Championship schedule and was so too on its predecessor the European Poker Tour. Last year, Pratyush Buddiga won the event for €690,275 while runner up [Removed:17] walked away with the most money (€704,755) after striking a deal 3-handed with Andrey Shatilov who also took home a hefty sum (€606,020). 165 entries were made lasting year, consisting of 131 unique players and 34 reentries.
The most recent €25,500 Singe-Day high roller was played in Monte Carlo back in May. Philipp Gruissem won that event for €485,135 while Adrian Mateos won the €50,000 variant for €908,000.
