Day 2 of the €8,400 GGMillion$ High Roller at King’s Casino inside Hilton Prague is complete.

Jake Greenbaum leads the way heading into Day 3 after bagging a massive 3,900,000. He is closely followed by Aliaksei Boika with 3,705,000, while Mehdi Chaoui (3,500,000), Mike Watson (3,390,000), Mustapha Kanit (3,150,000), and Zackary Estes (3,015,000) all sit in strong positions as the race for the title heats up.

Action of the Day

The biggest moment of the day came on the direct bubble with 55 players remaining, where the clock was paused for hand-for-hand play and tension filled the room. After a few double ups and unanswered all ins, Biao Ding delivered the decisive knockout, eliminating Rui Figueiredo when his rivered straight cracked pocket aces to burst the bubble and bring the field into the money.

Once in the money, the action did not slow down. Big pots and crucial confrontations shaped the late stages. Aliaksei Boika was one of the most active players, consistently using his stack to pressure opponents in key spots and picking up several important pots that kept him near the top of the counts. Christian Pedersen and Punnat Punsri were also heavily involved in multiple confrontations, trading big pots throughout the day.

One of the key moments saw Viktor Blom get involved in a crucial all-in situation against Pedersen, ultimately coming up short and heading to the rail shortly after the bubble. Landon Tice also exited after a swingy stretch where he was repeatedly forced into all in decisions but could not find the necessary hold.

In one of the last notable hands of the day, Boris Kolev picked up a significant pot after completing a flush against Mehdi Chaoui, a hand that boosted him into a strong position heading into Day 3.

Plan for Day 3

Day 3 resumes on April 11 at 13:00 local time with blinds at 25,000/50,000 and a 50,000 big blind ante. Play will continue through 60-minute levels with a 15-minute break every two levels and a planned 60-minute dinner break after level 26, with action continuing until a winner is crowned.
