The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) season has returned to Prague for the final stop of the year.
Known as the City of a Hundred Spires, Prague offers an enchanting backdrop for a thrilling poker experience. The fusion of the city’s rich history, remarkable architecture, and vibrant culture sets the stage for an unforgettable poker festivity.
December brings a brisk winter chill to Prague, with temperatures hovering between -1 and 4 degrees Celsius (30 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit). The city becomes a magical realm of festive adornments and Christmas stalls.
Snowflakes might gently fall at times, adding to the city's enchanting views. Dressing in layers is crucial for anyone wishing to wander through the mesmerizing lanes and visit the timeless landmarks—a warm jacket, scarf, and gloves are indispensable. Even with its frosty air, Prague retains an irresistible allure during this time of year; splendid holiday illumination and a jubilant atmosphere ensure that December is an appealing month for experiencing the charm of Prague.
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With almost 3,000 chips in the pot on a flop of J♥9♣K♥, Yuhang Chen checked from the big blind and Georgi Sandev fired 800 out of the hijack. Chen called.
An A♣ dropped on the turn and Chen checked once again, and then called the bet of 3,200 from Sandev.
When the 3♦ dropped on the river, Chen checked, and Sandev went into the tank for a while. Ultimately, Sandev checked back and he probably felt glad that he did as Chen revealed two pair with A♦9♥ to take the pot.
"I was folding to your jam, nothing else," said Chen as he raked in the pot.

Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu raised to 1,000 and Siegfried Kapeller reraised to 4,000 from the small blind, which Munteanu called.

David Docherty opened to 900 from under the gun. He was called by the cutoff and the small blind, but Valeri Savov in the big blind squeezed to 5,500. Docherty was the only one to call.
Savov continued for 4,000 on the A♠4♦4♠ flop, then fired a second barrel of 11,000 on the Q♠ turn. Docherty called both times.
The 2♣ brought no action, so Savov revealed K♦9♦. Docherty had two pair with A♣10♣ and scooped the pot.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos kicked off the hand with a raise from early position before Severi Palmu three-bet to 2,500 from the next seat across. Papadopoulos four-bet to 5,600 and Palmu moved all in. Papadopoulos called with the shorter stack and players turned their cards.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos: A♠K♠
Severi Palmu: J♠J♥
The 8♥A♥J♦ flop gave Papadopoulos a pair of aces, but also brought Palmu a set of jacks. The turn was the 2♣, leaving Papadopoulos drawing dead on the Q♥ river. Palmu scooped in a decent pot and Papadopoulos was sent to the rail.

One of the players from Table 18 filled in the gaps for PokerNews in a hand that saw Dimitar Iwanov-Petkin spike a two-outer to remain in the tournament.
There were around 3,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 2x4x7x when Mounir Tajiou checked and Dimitar Iwanov-Petkin fired 1,500. Tobias Garp then raised to 5,500, and Tajiou called. Iwanov-Petkin then shoved his stack of 13,000 into the middle, which Garp called.
"My hand can't be good," said Tajiou, and he folded.
Dimitar Iwanov-Petkin: 10♠10♣
Tobias Garp: 2♥2♠
Garp had flopped bottom set and just needed to fade the two remaining tens in the deck to score an elimination, while Iwanov-Petkin was on the brink of the rail.
"One time!" said Iwanov-Petkin. Just then, the dealer turned over the 10♦, which gave Iwanov-Petkin the lead with a set of tens. Garp was down to just one out, but didn't find it on the 4♥ river, which meant Iwanov-Petkin doubled up.
"Yessssssss!" shouted Iwanov-Petkin.

Apostolos Kofidis opened to 900 from under the gun, then called after Vitalii Shcherba in the hijack three-bet to 2,600.

On the 10♦ river, Kofidis decided to go all-in. Shcherba snap-called, finding himself at risk for 29,000.
Vitalii Shcherba: K♣K♠
Apostolos Kofidis: A♥Q♣
Shcherba flopped a set, but Kofidis hit a straight on the river to eliminate Shcherba.
