The action continues here at Casino Barcelona with the second of four starting flights in the 888poker LIVE Barcelona �888 Main Event.
Day 1a of the Main Event attracted 86 entrants to contribute just under �70,000 towards the prize pool. That number will continue to grow substantially with unlimited reentries available throughout the late registration period which ends just before the start of Day 2. Spain's Viktor Moskalenko leads the 27 survivors who advanced from Day 1a after bagging 400,000 chips, a stack worth 133 big blinds. Moskalenko is most closely followed by fellow countryman Alejandro Peinado Guillen (330,000) and Norway's Kristian Larsson (314,500).

Alejandro Auset limped in from the cutoff and Virginie Chauvel limped behind from the button. Aaron Barone checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came A?7?4?. Barone checked, Auset bet 900, Chauvel called and Barone got out of the way.
The two remaining players checked the A? turn leading to the K? river. Auset checked and Chauvel bet 4 ,000 which was enough to force a fold from her opponent.

Ryan Adams opened to 700 from the cutoff and received calls from James Hawkins on the button and Guillem Morgo in the big blind.
The flop came 9?2?3?. Morgo checked, Adams bet 600 and Hawkins raised to 1,600. Morgo folded while Adams made the call.
Both players checked the Q? turn leading to the 3? river. Adams bet 500, Hawkins raised to 4,300 and Adams made the call.
Hawkins could only show 6?5? for a bluff after missing his flush and straight draws. Adams tabled Q?J? for top pair and took down a nice early pot.
