The second starting day of the €1,800 + €200 partypoker World Poker Tour National Prague at the Corinthia Hotel kicks off at 13:00 CET. A total of eight levels of 60 minutes each will be played and the man to beat from Day 1a in the overall count is Alexander Lakhov with 182,900 chips. Only 24 out of the 47 players advanced to Day 2 and the participation on Day 1b is expected to be by far bigger.
All players that were eliminated on their first bullet on Day 1a can take advantage of the re-entry option and Sam Cohen as well as Joey Weissman already confirmed that they will be back at the tables once again. Furthermore, all players that only start today can re-enter once as well until the end of the day and even the end of level nine on Day 2.
Plenty of familiar faces on the international poker circuit are expected at the tables and they will be joined by the three Europe-Bet online qualifiers Enver Khvitia, Revaz Gujabidze and Irakli Gavasheli. The PokerNews team will be there to cover all good and bad beats on the way to crown another WPT National champion on Sunday.

It may not necessarily be exactly the same event as Julian Thomas won the WPT Championship event in the Card Casino Prague last year and this time it is a National Event with a buy-in of €1,800 + €200. Nonetheless the German has engraved his name into WPT history and is looking to emerge victorious once again.
Another well known name of the international tournament circuit has been spotted as well: David Vamplew.

After a raise from under the gun to 225, Alex Goulder called on the button and online qualifier Carla Larson filled up out of the big blind. The 
flop was checked to Goulder and he bet 400, which only Larson called. Both then checked the 
on the turn and the 
on the river. Larson turned over 
and that was good enough to win the pot.
