Jason Wheeler posted on social media earlier this week that Prague was his favorite poker stop, and he's off to a good start here on Day 1c of the Eureka Main Event.
Meanwhile, 2017 PokerStars Prague National Championship winner Georgios Vrakas has been getting a rather vigorous massage, with some noises alarming his tablemates.
"You can't be a poker player if you don't like pain!" he explained as he sits on a stack of just under 50,000-.

PokerStars revealed two new brand ambassadors at Resorts World Las Vegas last month, both with impeccable reputations within the poker community — Caitlin Comeskey and Jason Koon.
The newest Team Pro members for the most prominent brand in online poker history come from different backgrounds and have different roles within the industry. Koon is a high-stakes legend, arguably the top tournament player in the world. Comeskey is a low-stakes player known for her comedic light-hearted poker player parody videos. She captured the Best Short-Form Content Creator award at the 2023 Global Poker Awards.
Action was on the turn with Michel Brantschen facing a shove for most of his remaining chips.
The board read J♥7♣4♣9♥ and Brantschen sat with a bet of 5,100 in front of him. Zoran Sesum had then shoved for 23,200 and Brantschen was contemplating his decision.
"You show when I fold?" said Brantschen, with Sesum shaking his head vigorously no.
Brantschen thought a while longer before open-mucking K♥K♣
