Final Call for Entries in the €50,000 EPT Super High Roller
Poker's high rollers — this is your last chance to get in the mix for the biggest buy-in event of the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, as late registration for the €50,000 EPT Super High Roller will close when Day 2 gets underway at 12:30 p.m. local time.
Today's action currently sees 11 players returning to the Hilton, Prague, with Kayhan Mokri (813,000) in pole position to claim the largest slice of the €970,200 prize pool. EPT royalty Steve O'Dwyer (691,000) and Juan Pardo (685,000) complete the top three chip counts and are the only other two players with more than 100 big blinds.
EPT Prague's €10,200 NL Hold'em winner Tamas Adamszki (564,000) is still in contention for a second title at the stop, along with Teun Mulder who triumphed the series' opening €25K event. The Dutchman also secured a third-place finish in the second €25K tournament, with the two payouts taking him to the top spot on the Netherlands All-Time Money List.
Jules Dickerson (521,000), Laszlo Bujtas (439,000) and Gregoire Auzoux (425,000) find themselves in the middle of the pack but have more than enough talent between them to stage a surge up the chip counts.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy (291,000) and Dimitar Danchev (280,000) were able to add a few chips to their 250,000 starting stack and are only propped by Mulder and Yuto Suzuki (89,000).
Day 2 resumes on Level 9 with blinds of 3,000-6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante, and as mentioned, the late registration period will close when cards go in the air.

Bujtas Sticks Around With Jacks
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On the first hand of the day, Laszlo Bujtas raised to 13,000 under the gun and Gregoire Auzoux called in the big blind.
The flop came 3♦A♥8♥ and Bujtas bet 10,000. Auzoux then raised to 40,000 and Bujtas called.
Both players checked down the 7♦ turn and 8♠ river as Auzoux showed K♥Q♥ for a missed flush draw and Bujtas turned over J♣J♥ to win the pot.
"You think he's just a PLO player but he's actually both. He plays tricks with people's heads like he doesn't know what he's doing," Kayhan Mokri said.

Both players checked to the 7♣ river where O'Dwyer bet 36,000. Danchev called, then mucked when O'Dwyer showed Q♣6♣ for trip queens.
