Adrian Mateos is off to a good start and now up to 60,000 chips. Just before the break, the Spanish poker pro won a pot when the action was raised from a player in early position to 400. Mateos from the blinds three-bet the pot to 1,600 and received a call.
After the flop came , Mateos bet 1,800. His opponent didn't waste too much time tossing his hand into the muck.
Mateos is the chip leader on a star-studded table which includes Justin Bonomo (20,000), Martin Kabrhel (16,000) and 2016 WSOP November Niner Kenny Hallaert (22,000).

During the break, a few more players entered the field. Day 1a is now up to 199 players with 187 still in their seats. The EPT Main Event does not allow for reentries. So unlike other events on the schedule in Prague, once a player is eliminated, he or she can no longer rejoin the field.
While there are three final tables in big EPT and Eureka events, including the EPT Super High Roller, going on simultaneously as well as the opening of the EPT Main Event, the biggest crowd is gathered in the lobby watching table tennis matches as part of the PokerStars Right to Play.
Anyone can sign-up, and we were told by a representative that three of the players will be awarded prizes.
Paul Newey, who just busted at the final table of the Super High Roller, hopped straight into the Main Event. Other recent entries include Anthony Zinno, Timothy Adams, and Vojtech Ruzicka.

On a completed board of , Justin Bonomo was in the big blind and facing an all-in shove for his remaining 6,725 from cutoff Martin Kabrhel.
"What do you have?" Kabrhel asked, and Bonomo pointed at the ace. "Ace and? I have diamonds."
"How many diamonds?" Bonomo asked.
Kabrhel proceeded to ask if Bonomo could beat ace-queen, and the American shook his head no. In the end, Bonomo did decide to fold, and Kabrhel didn't show.
