The penultimate day of the �5,300 Main Event at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona stop is upon us with 16 players remaining from a sizable field of 2,120 players. Leading the way into the second to last day is France's Simon Wiciak, who will start Day 6 with nearly 200 blinds on his quest for a maiden EPT title and the �1,488,000 top prize.

Other big starts ahead of the start of Day 6 include Britain's Carl Shaw and Canada's Curtis Knight, while behind them sit medium stacks Daniyar Aubakirov, Ezequiel Waigel and 2013 EPT London champion Robin Ylitalo.
