Table 51 has already opened and currently plays short-handed. Among those seated there is Kully Sidhu, who opened to 500 in the cutoff. The button called and Frederic Delval then three-bet to 3,600 out of the big blind in order to force two quick folds.
Many more new faces have since emerged in the field as 470 players out of 480 entries remain.
On a board of 
, Johan Storaakers check-called the 1,800 turn bet from David Dahan and the two players went to the river.
With over 11,000 in the pot, the river came 
and Storaakers checked once more. Dahan counted out a bet of 4,200 and slowly pushed it over the line before Storaakers quickly called.
Storaaker was shown the bad news as Dahan showed 
for a rivered full house which bested Storaakers' 
.
Some 9,500 chips were in the middle to a flop of 
between Piotr Walenta and Juan Pardo. The former then opted to bet 2,500 only for Pardo to go into the tank and raise it up to 8,500. Walenta gave it some thought for 30 seconds, double-checked his cards and silently sent them into the muck.
With some 4,500 in the middle in four-way action, the flop showed 
. Guy Goossens in the big blind was the player to bet for 1,700 and Fiodor Martino the only caller on the button. The 
fell on the turn and Goossens bet another 4,500. This time, Martino sent his cards into the muck and the Belgian chipped up.
Over on table 19, two former EPT Main Event champions can now be fund. Uri Gilboa was already seated since the first level while Hossein Ensan, a previous winner right here at the Hilton Hotel in Prague, just re-entered. On Day 1a, Ensan was eliminated rather quickly before the dinner break and will aim to do better today.
Joining the action on the 
turn, Stanislavs Macugins checked and Tomoki Matsuda bet 1,200 for his opponent to call. Macugins checked again the 
on the river and Matsuda now bet 3,000. This sent Macugins into a brief tank, he shook his head and then folded the 
face-up.
Three ways to the 
river, Andrea Klasovic and Boaz Madhala checked to Erwann Pecheux, who made it 4,000 to go. Only Klasovic called and Pecheux tabled the 
for the nuts to win the pot.
The same table also features Francesco Delfoco and Simeon Naydenov, among others.
