The numbers have been finalized for this EPT8 Prague, and they look pretty sexy.
With 722 total players, the prize pool reached a record €3,501,700! They'll pay out 104 places with the mini-cash being worth €7,500. The eight who make it all the way to the final table will each earn at least €66,700, and the six-figure payouts kick in at sixth place.
The lucky man or woman who wins this thing will hoist the EPT trophy, slip the Shamballa bracelet on their wrist, and pocket €775,000. You can find the rest of the breakdown in the "Payouts" tab up there.

Melanie Weisner and Anton Wigg checked the flop before a third player in the hand bet 1,800. Weisner made the call and then Wigg raised to 5,800. The orignal bettor took a minute, but then folded. Weisner quickly followed into the muck and Wigg picked up the pot.

We picked up the heads-up action on the turn as the board showed . Tibor Janos Nagygyorgy checked out of position, and Roger Hairabedian put out a bet of 3,100 into a pot of just less than 6,000. Nagygyorgy responded with a check-raise to 8,300. Hairabedian came right back over the top with another raise to 15,000 total, and Nagygyorgy eventually made the call. The filled out the board on the river, and the two men were content to check it down.
Hairabedian showed for the bottom straight, and Nagygyorgy waited to see it before slapping his superior down on the felt.
After dropping that pot "Big Roger" is down under his starting stack to about 23,000.

Just at the tail end of the last level, we lost Miroslav Hurta.
The pot began with Nicolas Levi opening to 1,000 from the cutoff seat, and Hurta thee-bet to 3,100 in the small blind. Levi called, and they took a flop heads up. Hurta continued out with another 3,500 which Levi called, and the turn brought the . Now Hurta froze, long enough that Levi asked to make sure he knew the action was on him. He did, and he eventually checked, and Levi checked it right back.
The river came the , and now Hurta went ahead and shoved in for more than 20,000. Levi made the call, and Hurta tabled for aces up. It was no good. Levi tabled his , and his trip jacks send Hurta off to the rail.
