John Juanda Wins High Roller at Barcelona EPT: Key Moments and Controversies
John Juanda won the high roller tournament with a €10,300 buy-in, which attracted 506 entries. The tournament featured 25 players from Russia, 9 from Belarus, 8 from Ukraine, and 5 from Azerbaijan.
Jason Mercier missed a Barcelona match due to the tournament and gave away tickets on Twitter. Mercier's exit from the tournament was notable, as he was eliminated just two players away from the money bubble. He posted a 5-bet all-in with pocket aces, but Adrian Mateos called with Ace-King, and a king on the flop and river secured Mateos' victory.
In the final day, Aleksey Boyko led the tournament with a stack of 1,985,000 chips. However, his lead was short-lived as he was eliminated in a crucial hand. Nick Petrangelo called his all-in with Ace-Deuce, and the flop left Boyko with no hope. Despite his early exit, Boyko managed to secure fifth place, earning €265,600.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
