[user50492]

Play has finished for the night. The clock shows 86 players remaining, meaning the average stack is 27,000. The dealers are racing off the 25-value chips, and the players are bagging and tagging their stacks. They have a day off tommorrow before returning on Wednesday, when the two flights combine.

Join us from the Hilton Hotel in Prague from 12pm tommorrow when Day 1b of the PokerStars EPT Prague begins.

Adrian Koy and Maciej Mazur look like they are the two biggest stacks. Full chip counts from today's play will be posted before play starts tommorrow.

Mazur Now Chip Leader

[user57637]

He just won a huge pot with a straight against top set.

By the turn the board read {10-Diamonds}

, and all the chips flew. Mazur's {J-Clubs}

held up on the river against a very unfortunate player holding pocket tens.

Five More Hands!

[user50492]

There will be five more hands played on each table before play finishes. This system, which was employed also at the EPT Dublin, means that there will be no stalling towards the end of play.

Rizzi Wins Large Pot from Daehling

[user57637]

By the river the board read {7-Hearts}

, and Daehling bet 13,000 into a 16,000 pot. Rizzi decided to just call with {10-Diamonds}

for a full house.

Daehling, disgusted, turned over {7-Clubs}

for a smaller full house, but was surely happy that his opponent decided not to raise him at any point after the flop.

Rizzi is now on close to 70,000.
