Hello and welcome to Day 4 of the European Poker Tour Prague Main Event at the Hilton Hotel in the Czech Republic. Today will be all about the 61 remaining players, from the 1,007 runners, trying to turn a deep run into an even deeper one.
Alas for over 75% of the remaining field their Main Event run will come to an end today as the plan today is to play until just 16 players remain, or a maximum of five full levels. One player who you’d back to still be alive at that juncture is Ludovic Lacay. The Frenchman, who won EPT9 San Remo in October 2012, is the chip leader at the start of play. His stack of 1,700,000 equates to 170 big blinds and a lead of over 50 big blinds from Julian Track (1,187,000).
Two other Germans have seven-figure stacks, they are Lasell King (1.075,000) he’s making his second deep run in Prague this week after finishing 14th in the 1,315 runner Eureka Poker Tour Main Event. And Ole Schemion (1,030,000), who just seems to go deep for fun. He won over $2,000,000 in 2012 and already has over $1,300,000 in live tournament earnings this year. Second place of higher here in Prague would see him eclipse his 2012 earnings.
Back in the pack there are a number of sharks with stacks that are comfortably above average and just one big pot from being amongst the chip leaders. Ana Marquez (870,000), Stephen Chidwick (864,000) and Andrew Chen (650,000) are chief amongst them. Whilst the Czech Republic’s best hope for a home win comes in the shape of Vit Blachut (826,000).
Further back Max Silver (554,000), last year’s runner-up Sotirios Koutoupas (545,000), Ari Engel (462,000) and Eureka3 Prague champion Dimitri Holdeew (426,000) will be hoping to stick around for a while. Whilst Jonathan Roy (217,000), Sam Chartier (115,000) and Jonathan Little (112,000) will be hoping to spin short stacks into something more significant.
Cards are in the air at noon, the feature table, which you can watch on pokerstars.tv with commentary from James Hartigan, Joe Stapelton and special guests is table five, which contains Lacay, Schemion and Silver. That, like today, should be a cracker.
Nível: 20
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 1,000
Table Six has been the action table during the opening 10 minutes with three all ins on the first three hands of play. First to move in was Tomasz Kowalski, he had 212,000 and pushed them across the line from the button. Both blinds folded.
On the second hand Jonathan Little took the opportunity to move all-in for 108,000 from early position, again there were no takers.
On the third hand though we did get a showdown, Nihat Karyagdi moved in for 64,000 from under-the-gun+1, Tamer Kamel called
and everyone else folded.
Karyagdi:
Kamel:
The board ran and Karyagdi got out of his seat and walked off. Jonathan Little called him back as Karyagdi hadn't realised it was a chopped pot. He sat back down and said, "second chance."
Brazilian player Marcelo da Fonseca just opened under the gun to his entire stack except for 2,000. Action folded to Sam Chartier in the big blind who double checked his cards and then announced all in. Da Fonseca made the call and the first all in showdown on table 7 was there.
Chartier had and was well in front versus Da Fonseca's
. The
board didn't change a thing and Da Fonseca had to hand over all of his chips to neighbor Chartier.

A big hand to tell you about from the feature table, it involved chip leader Ludovic Lacay and Lasell King, another player with a seven-figure stack.
Pre-flop King opened from the hijack, Lacay three-bet to 59,000 from the button, King four-bet to 120,000 and Lacay made the call. On the flop King continuation bet 110,000 and Lacay smooth called. The
hit the turn and King fired again, this time 260,000. "I'd expect King to show up with an overpair a decent amount of the time here," said Joe Stapleton on the live stream. "What do you do with jacks or queens here if you're Lacay?" wondered James Hartigan. "Jacks is a horrible spot, queens only marginally less so," opined Stapleton.
After a couple of minutes Lacay laid it down, King climbs to 1,166,000 whilst Lacay slips to 1,491,000.

One name that keeps popping up here at the EPT Prague is Skrill – which isn’t a player, but rather an online payment solutions company that aims to evolve “the way people pay and get paid globally.” Skrill is branded throughout the venue and also have a booth where players can sign up for their popular "Last Longer Competition."
The Skrill Last Longer competition will be held at each stop on this season’s EPT, of which they’re an official sponsor. The promotion is simple – players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive their buy-in back via their Skrill account.
While Skrill is upping the ante for Season 10 with a bigger branding initiative, this isn’t their first appearance on the EPT; as a matter of fact, they were a sponsor of Season 8 and have held previous “Last Longer” promotions.
Here's the long list of 13 Skrillees still in contention at the start of Day 3.
Marcello Miniucchi, Liutauras Armanavicius, Ari Engel, Tapio Vihakas, Kamel Tamer, Aleksejs Ponakovs, Andrey Volkov, Piotr Pietrzak, Sven Krieger, Dimitri Holdeew, Sotirios Koutoupas, Victor Sheerman, and Nihat Karyagdi.
The company’s website provides a bit more information on Skrill, which rebranded from Moneybookers back in 2010:
“Skrill has been moving money digitally since 2001. We offer online payment solutions for businesses and consumers, allowing them to pay and get paid globally. Over 36 million account holders already trust Skrill. Our customers can send and receive money worldwide in 200 countries and 40 currencies, securely and at low cost, without revealing their personal financial details. Your business will benefit from our worldwide payment network with over 100 payment options. Whether through a simple one-step integration or a fully-tailored payment solution. Whoever you are, however you like to pay or get paid, trust Skrill to make your online payments simpler, faster and safer.”
Headquartered in London, Skrill is looking to make their presence known in the poker world with a commitment to customer satisfaction through innovation and service. Not only that, they’re looking to be more than just a company by becoming a trusted and respected member of the poker community.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be keeping an eye on the latest incarnation of the Skrill Last Longer throughout the duration of the EPT Prague Main Event.
