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.

Cards are in the air for Day 3 of the EPT Main Event.
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♥ 
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.

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

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.

On the first hand of Day 3, there was already an all-in and a call at table #11, with Christian Rudolph’s tournament life on the line.
Christian Rudolph: A♣A♥
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka: A♠K♦
Rudolph found himself on the right side of the cooler, while Tsiareshchanka needed significant help from the board. The dealer spread a flop of 9♥K♠2♣, giving Tsiareshchanka a glimmer of hope, but the 6♦ turn and 2♥ river provided no further improvement. Tsiareshchanka was left with just two big blinds.

: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Johnson had opened from the cutoff and got called by Barak Oz on the button & Luka Bojovic in the big blind.
They went to a flop of 3♠Q♥5♠ where Bojovic and Johnson checked, then Oz fired 14,000. Bojovic and Johnson called.
A 2♦ on the turn was checked through, as was the J♥ river.
"Ace-high," said Bojovic, which was no good as Johnson tabled J♠7♠ for a pair of jacks. However, Oz had K♣J♣ for a pair of jacks with a better kicker to claim the pot.

Jacob Amsellem raised from early position, David Wintersberger reraised from the big blind and Amsellem called.
The flop came K♣6♥4♠ and Wintersberger continued for 30,000, which Amsellem called. The turn was the Q♠ and Wintersberger slowed down with a check. Amsellem bet 70,000 and Wintersberger folded his hand to concede the pot.

Fabio Peluso raised to 14,000 from the cutoff with just 1,000 behind. Artur Shupa called from the big blind and they went to the flop.
The two players checked a board of 2♦4♠5♠5♣J♥ all the way to river before Shupa bet the minimum to put Peluso all in. Peluso called.
Fabio Peluso: A♣8♠
Artur Shupa: 9♥4♦
Peluso was eliminated with ace-high against the pair of fours of Shupa.
