Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Welcome back to the PokerStars.net European Poker Tour Prague where the remaining 22 players will play down to the final six today.

Yesterday began with 61 players and after five 90-mminute levels it was Fabio Sperling who finished with the lead, one of four Germans who remain in the hunt.

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst played a fearless and aggressive game yesterday to return as the fifth place player. Expect similar fireworks today as she seeks to dominate her table and go for the win. David Kitai is on the same table as Selbst however, with a similar stack size and position. If these two clash it could be spectacular.

There will be a table re-draw once six players have been eliminated and they are down to 16, and there will be a final re-draw when they reach the unofficial final table of nine.

The remaining players are all guaranteed a pay-day of €32,270 from a €5,535,000 prize pool generated by the 1,107 entrants, a record for a Prague EPT. The eventual winner will walk away will a cool €969,000.

Play resumes at 12:00 CET at Level 25 (15,000/30,000/4,000) with an average stack of fifty big blinds. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will bring you all the drama from the felt in what is sure to be a thrilling day of poker.
