Welcome to Day 2 of the 2014 EPT Prague €50,000 Super High Roller
The registration for Day 2 of the 2014 EPT Prague €50,000 Super High Roller at the Hilton Hotel remains open until 11:45 CET and cards will go back in the air at midday with Ivan Soshnikov leading the field of the 32 survivors. The Russian won the € 10,000 + 300 High Roller at the very same venue last year for a career-high score of € 382,050 and accumulated 905,000 chips after eight levels of play on Day 1.
There were a total of 41 unique players and 7 re-entries, of which Joseph Cheong and Fedor Holz fired two bullets without bagging up chips. They still have the option to re-enter before Day 2 commences though and the overall number of entries may exceed 50 still with the blinds kicking in at 3,000-6,000 / ante 1,000. All late registrants and re-entries receive the starting stack of 250,000 in chips and that leaves a lot of room to make some moves still.
Big stacks for the restart include Brian Roberts (857,000), Juha Helppi (662,000), Czech high stakes player Martin Kabrhel (623,000) and the ever-so dangerous High Roller expert Tobias Reinkemeier (618,000). The creme de la creme of poker also includes World Series of Poker Main Event champion Martin Jacobson and the Swede bagged up 337,000 chips in his first event after the victory in Las Vegas.
The plan for Day 2 is to either play 10 levels of 60 minutes each or until the official final table of the last eight players is reached, whatever of the two comes first. Once the registration is official closed, the payout will be announced as well and that should be the case within the first level on Day 2. The PokerNews team will be there to cover all crucial moments until the end of play, so tune back in regularly!
Adams Back At It
Timothy Adams has bought back in for another €50,000. So far he's the only one re entering or signing up for the first time we know of. Registration has closed and the clock makes notion of 6 more minutes before play starts. First thing we'll get you is a seat draw.
