The board showed when we picked up the action as Tony Dunst called a bet of 2,500 from Rui Sousa. Sousa was seated in the big blind, and on the river when the popped up he bet another 4,200.
Dunst, two seats to Sousa's left, tanked for quite some time before slamming the chips needed to make the call onto the table.

When you're playing a big international poker tournament, there's a decent chance you'll have to face some tough opposition. However, it's not very common to see a table so stacked that there's not a single player we don't recognize. Usually there's one or two faces at some of the tougher "tables of doom" we've seen in the past, but not at this one we found today.
Aptly named Table 1 today, this seat draw carries seven recognizable pros. Among them, they represent $23.3 million in live tournament earnings with David Peters leading the way at $6.8 million.
Being moved to this table will feel like a death sentence, as butting heads with such tough competition will surely make your quest to reach Day 3 much, much harder. They say table draw can be everything in tournament poker, and today we'll see that notion play out right in front of us.
Since the breaking order is from high to low, Table 1 will never be broken.
Here's what the table looks like, from a money-earned perspective:
Name
Live Tournament Earnings
David Peters
$6,827,863
Martin Finger
$6,535,683
Kevin MacPhee
$5,342,029
Elliott Smith
$1,502,267
Valdemar Kwaysser
$1,452,342
Erwann Pecheux
$1,093,432
Rasmus Agerskov
$630,183
Just now, we saw a raise to 1,400, a call from Rasmus Agerskov and a three-bet from David Peters to 5,800 on the button. The action folded back to Agerskov who moved all in to put Peters at risk. Peters folded right away, and Agerskov took down this pot.
Dermot Blain started the day low on chips, but he just managed to double up to get back up over the starting stack. Blain just shoved holding for his last 15,600 an he got called by .
The board brought no trouble for the Irishman, and Blain now sits on around 32,000 chips.
The cards are now in the air for the second day of play in this WPT Prague Main Event. The levels from this day forward will be 90 minutes, with a 15-minute break after every level. Today six levels will be played, and there will be a one-hour dinner break at the completion of the fourth level.
The players had a chance to warm up during Day 1a and Day 1b, but from now on the pressure will be building. All remaining players will now be in one room, and at the end of today we'll have a much better idea of who will be contending for the WPT Prague 2015 title.
Coming into the day it's Josh Cranfield's fairytale story that has everyone exciting. Cranfield qualified on partypoker for no more than £12 and now he holds a commanding chip lead on Day 2. The field however is stacked, and Cranfield will have to battle through a long list of top pros in order to make his dream of winning a WPT come true.
Among the big stacks heading into Day 2 we have Byron Kaverman, Igor Yaroshevskyy, Vojtech Ruzicka and Gaelle Baumann. Out of the 233 entries into this event, 147 remain and registration remains open until the cards are in the air.
Play will commence at 2:00 p.m. local time and five 90-minute levels will be played.
