Usually we begin Day 2 with a flurry of eliminations but today seems different, with only a couple of all in confrontations of note so far.
Matias Can has just doubled up with against local player Martin Kabrhel's to put him up to 73,000 chips. Also, Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen has once doubled up, holding against Drasutis Tauras Narmontas's and then shortly after moved all in preflop again but this time only picked up the blinds and antes, which are worth 2,700 at present.
Welcome back gentle reader welcome back to the official Day 2 of the EPT Prague Main Event. Since Monday, 563 players have passed through the doors of the Hilton to take part in this €5,000 buy in tournament, of those just 254 have survived with their chip stacks intact.
The plan of action for today is to play at least six levels, which should in theory see the money bubble burst. In this event it is the top 80 players who will receive a cash reward, starting at €8,000 and gradually increasing until the potentially life-changing sum of €640,000 is awarded to the eventual winner.
Dirk Richter is our overall chipleader, coming from quite literally nowhere to end the day with a colossal 296,700 chips, more than 100,000 more than second placed Roberto Romanello. A whole host of familiar face will return to the felt today including Laurence “rivermanl” Houghton, Kristoffer Thorsson, Toby Lewis and Team PokerStars Pros Luca Pagano and Liv Boeree.
Play gets under way around 1200 CET so please join us then for live coverage of EPT Prague, brought to you by PokerNews.com
