Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Enrico Camosci limped in from the small blind and Sandor Gyorffy checked his option from the big blind.

Camosci check-called a bet of 5,000 from Gyorffy on the 4♥9♣4♣ flop.

The turn came the Q♠ and Camosci check-called another bet from Gyorffy, this time for 15,000.

After the 7♦ came on the river Camosci check-folded to a bet of 30,000 from Gyorffy.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

David Wintersberger opened from early position and Michael Sklenicka shoved for around 130,000 from the big blind. Wintersberger snap-called.

Michael Sklenicka: A♦K♥ All in
David Wintersberger: K♠K♦

Sklenicka was at risk in the very first hand and his chances of survival were severely dampened on the K♣J♦2♦ flop as Wintersberger made top set.

"A king is very good for me," said Wintersberger.

The 4♠ on the turn left Sklenicka drawing dead, and the meaningless 5♥ dropped on the river, which meant Sklenicka hit the rail first on Day 3.

The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague €5,300 Main Event heads into Day 3 today, with 191 players returning to the baize inside the stunning Hilton Prague at noon local time. This year’s Main Event has reached new heights, setting a record with an astounding 1,458 entries, creating a massive €7,071,300 prize pool. Each of the remaining competitors has already locked up a minimum cash of €8,550, but all eyes are on the top prize of €1,146,500 and the prestigious title of EPT Main Event Champion.

Day 3 kicks off with Sylwia Studniarz leading the charge, having bagged an impressive 842,000 chips at the end of Day 2. Despite having only two recorded live cashes on The Hendon Mob, Studniarz already boasts a notable victory from the EPT Ladies Event in Barcelona last year, where she took home €10,670. Sweden’s Anton Bergstrom occupies second place with 715,000 chips, who finished twenty-fourth in this event last year and will know what it takes to make a deep run here in Prague.
