Ahoj, Nazdar, Dobrý Den

Defending champion Arnaud Mattern
Defending champion Arnaud Mattern
I won't pretend I haven't Googled this, but... ahoj, nazdar, dobrý den and welcome to this year's EPT Prague. Last year, the Czech capital cemented its place on Europe's number one tour when it attracted a magnificent 550 poker enthusiasts to the lavish Hilton Hotel. With circa €2.5 million Euros in the kitty, it was Arnuad Mattern who snapped up the treasures on offer, his jacks holding up against Gino 'El Diablo' Alacqua's A-9 to give France their third EPT title.

But will France retain the trophy this year round, or will one of the other many nations represented on the Tour Czech-raise their way to EPT gold? Stay with us over the next five days as we find out...
