191 Players Return to the Felt For Day 3 of the EPT Prague Main Event

The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague €5,300 Main Event heads into Day 3 today, with 191 players returning to the baize inside the stunning Hilton Prague at noon local time. This year’s Main Event has reached new heights, setting a record with an astounding 1,458 entries, creating a massive €7,071,300 prize pool. Each of the remaining competitors has already locked up a minimum cash of €8,550, but all eyes are on the top prize of €1,146,500 and the prestigious title of EPT Main Event Champion.

Day 3 kicks off with Sylwia Studniarz leading the charge, having bagged an impressive 842,000 chips at the end of Day 2. Despite having only two recorded live cashes on The Hendon Mob, Studniarz already boasts a notable victory from the EPT Ladies Event in Barcelona last year, where she took home €10,670. Sweden’s Anton Bergstrom occupies second place with 715,000 chips, who finished twenty-fourth in this event last year and will know what it takes to make a deep run here in Prague.
