A record-setting 1,267 players turned out to the Hilton Prague for the EPT Main Event for the largest field in the history of the Prague tournament. The field generated a prize pool of €6,144,950, from which the winner will take home the top prize of €1,054,500. All 117 returning players are guaranteed €11,450.

Jaesung Lee has the chip lead with just over 1.1 million after two full days of play. He's followed in second by PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot in second and Javier Gomez Zapatero in third. Luigi D'Alterio and Simon Lofberg round out the top five.
