Welcome to Day 1b of 2018 EPT Prague €5,300 Main Event
PokerStars EPT Prague €5,300 Main Event got rolling on Wednesday with Day 1a, and now it's time for the second and final starting flights, Day 1b.
With a turnout of over 370 entries on Day 1a, a huge field may be in the offing as the tournament is well ahead of pace compared to 2017, when this event was under the PokerStars Championship banner. Another strong turnout should be on the way for Day 1b.
Just like Day 1a, Day 1b will see 10 levels played, each lasting an hour apiece. A dinner break will be given after the sixth level. Players begin with 30,000 in their stacks at 100/100 and progress up to 600/1,200/1,200 by the end of the night. Each player is permitted two total entries regardless of Day 1 flight, so eliminated players may reenter if they didn't fire on Day 1a.
Cards are scheduled to be in the air at noon local time here at Hilton Prague. Stay tuned to this space to see who joins the likes of Patrik Antonius, Niall Farrell, Parker Talbot, Andras Nemeth and Norbert Szecsi in good position heading into Friday's Day 2.
