David Williams Eliminated

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
David Williams
David Williams

In one of the first hands of the day Portuguese pro Micel Dattani shoved all in under the gun for a little over 50,000. In the cutoff it was David Williams who was interested. After only taking a glance at his cards he knew what to do: reshove. He went all in for 35,000 more than Dattani's stack and the button and both blinds quickly folded.

Williams had by far the best hand with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} as Dattani showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The flop would give Williams a headache probably though, as two clubs popped up: {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn proved to be a blank but the {A-Hearts} on the river wasn't. Williams calmly counted out the chips he owed and handed them over without any sign of despair.

The next hand there was a raise in front of Williams to 6,500 and he shoved his last big blinds in. The call that followed was quick and Williams would soon find out he needed to hit. His {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} was up against {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. The {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} board proved no help and Williams got up from the table and left the tournament area.

Seat Open

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Not in the early exit sense, although Jose Carlos Garcia did move all in for 51,500 on the first hand from the small blind , but in the not here yet sense.

WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown champion Taylor von Kriegenbergh was not in his seat for the first hand, his stack of 136,000 is currently blinding off.

The March to the Money Begins on Day 3 of the EPT10 Prague

Walid Bou Habib
Walid Bou Habib

A record breaking 1,007 players entered the Season 10 European Poker Tour Prague Main Event at the Hilton Hotel in the Czech Republic, but now we are down to 189 who will return today to continue the battle for the prestigious title of 2013 EPT Prague Champion.

The huge number of entrants means the tournament has generated a massive prize pool of €4,883,950, with the winner set to receive €889,000. It also means that 151 players will finish in the money. In other words, 38 players will leave here today empty handed.

Walid Bou Habib from Lebanon leads the field with 509,000 chips, but some still competition isn't far behind. Jonathan Little from the USA has 471,000, PokerStars player Ka Kwan Lau from Spain has 440,000, and there are a number of other players with similar stacks snapping at their heels.

World Series of Poker November Niner Amir Lehavot from the USA, who was the chip leader at the start of Day 2, is still in contention with 427,000, and so are a number of Team PokerStars Pros including Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier (230,200), Jonathan Duhamel (108,000), Eugene Katchalov (104,900), and David Williams (89,200).

A few other notables who will play today include Full Tilt Poker Tour Ambassador Dermot Blain (84,200), Simon Deadman (190,200) Ana Marquez (319,400), and Max Silver (259,000).

The tournament will now switch to 90-minute levels with the blinds starting at 1,500/3,000 with a 400 ante. There are 24 tables left and play will be eight handed. The seat draw is just below this post.

There are a few short stacks, the shortest of which is Erik Scheidt (27,800), who will need a bit of luck to survive the early levels, but one double up will see him right back in contention.

Join the PokerNews reporting team as action kicks off in an hour for all the drama as we head towards the bubble and take another step towards crowning the final EPT Champion of 2013. Live streaming and commentary from James Hartigan and Joe Stapelton can be found at pokerstars.tv.
