The PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague continues today with Day 2 of the €10,000 EPT High Roller. Over 10 levels of play on the opening day, 210 entries took their seats to battle over the felt, generating a prize pool that currently stands at €2,075,800.
At the end of the night, 86 players bagged and tagged at the Hilton Prague and will be returning for the Day 2 restart at 12:30 p.m. local time. With late registration still open until the start of play today, that number is only expected to grow.
By the end of the proceedings, it was Juan Pardo who claimed the title of chip leader having accumulated 380,000 over the 10 hours of play. But Pardo will have to combat some big names in this star-studded field, including EPT regulars Thomas Eychenne and Antoine Labat who were the only other players to eclipse to 300,000 chip mark. Interestingly, they will all be seated next to each other at Table 14 when the day begins.

2015 EPT Deauville champion Ognyan Dimov to 3,000 from the hijack, and was called by the cutoff and by Daisuke Ogita on the button.
But after these actions, Shyngis Satubayev decided to squeeze to 15,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, but Dimov was not impressed at all as he shoved for approximately the starting stack.
Immediately, the cutoff and Ogita folded, and so did Satubayev.
