Jesus Sanchez, Mikhail Petrov, and Nicholas Galtos took a flop of 
. Sanchez checked, Petrov fired 8,000, and Galtos called. Sanchez reached for a handful of blue T5,000 chips, added five red T1,000 chips, and tossed out a raise to 30,000. Both Petrov and Galtos called.
The turn was the 
, and Sanchez grabbed two towers of chips, one purple (T500) the other red, topped them off with five blue chips, and slid forward 55,000. Petrov tanked for 30 seconds, folded, and the action was on Galtos.
"How much do you have behind?" the Australia asked, lifting off his sunglasses.
"About fifty-seven," Sanchez answered after quickly counting. "Fifty-eight."
"I'm all in," Galtos announced.
"Call!" Sanchez blurted immediately.

Sanchez flopped the nuts, but after turning a set of jacks, Galtos wasn't drawing dead. The 
bricked on the river however, and Sanchez more than doubled to 330,000 chips.
Galtos and Petrov slipped to 140,000 and 150,000 respectively.

A preflop raising war resulted in Ronny Schimpf being all in for around 110,000 and dominated by Jeffrey Hakim.
Showdown
Schimpf: 
Hakim: 
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Schimpf had just a 23.30% chance of winning the hand compared to Hakim's 72.03% — there was a 4.67% chance of a tie. Schimpf's chances fell to 17.88% on the 
, while the 
turn further knocked that down to 9.09%.
Schimpf needed a queen on the river to make Broadway and stay alive, but it was not in the cards as the 
appeared.

A total of 52 players have made it through to Day 2 of Event #11, the €2k event from a total of 306 entries. The massive field means a prize pool totalling nearly €600,000. The current chip leader is Simon Ravnsbaek from Denmark with 282,500. Also still in are Team PokerStars Pros Ana Marquez, Jonathan Duhamel and Salvatore Bonavena.
We're not sure of the action, but we do know that Ofer Shechter was all in preflop for his tournament life holding 
and was in bad shape against the 
of Azerbaijan's Ramin Hajiyev.
Shechter seemed resigned to his fate and began to stand even before the flop came down 
. The 
turn meant Shechter needed an eight on the river to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the peeled off.

Philippe Narboni has fallen just short of the money here in the EPT Prague Main Event, falling victim to his fellow countryman Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.
It was Elky, a Team PokerStars Pro, who opened the betting from late position, a raise that was three-bet by Ronny Schumpf in the cutoff. Next to act was Narboni and he moved all in for around 45,000, ElkY reshoved and Schumpf folded.

Narboni:
ElkY was way in front, and that is exactly how it stayed as the board ran out 
.

Maybe he's running good, or maybe he's just asserting himself early at his starting table. Whatever the reason, Shannon Shorr has come our of the blocks aggressively.
Jacob Toole opened to 6,000 off a very short stack. Shorr was in the big blind and shoved on him. Fold.
The very next hand Aubin Cazals raised to 7,000 off the button but he too had to fold when Shorr three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind.
Moral of the story: Only raise if Shannon has folded already!

There aren't many women left in the field, and we just lost on of them.
It happened when Stuart Rutter opened for 6,600 from the cutoff and was met with an all-in three-bet for 20,000 from Romania's Luciana Manolea. The big blind got out of the way and Rutter made a hesitant call.
Showdown
Rutter:
Manolea:
Manolea got it in good, but a flash of pure disappointment crossed her face when the 
flop paired Rutter. Neither the 
turn nor 
river would help Manolea, and the Italian beauty made an early exit here on Day 3.
