The following players have been eliminated from the tournament. Just 107 remain at the moment. No prize pool or amount of players in the money announced yet.
Dan Shak opened from the small blind to 6,200 and called Jani Sointula's big blind shove. Shak had by far the best of it holding , Sointula had .
The board came and Shak and Sointula shook hands before the Fin left and Shak started stacking. Shak is now one of the biggest stacks in the room, maybe even the biggest.
Juha Helppi raised to 5,100 from middle position before Ari Engel made it 16,000 to go from the small blind. With the decision back on Helppi, he threw out another raise to 70,000. Engel then moved all in for a little more and Helppi obliged.
Helppi:
Engel:
The board ran out to see Engel improve to a set on the flop as he took down the hand.
The dealer then confirmed that Engel was all in for 94,400. Helppi’s stack was then counted out and determined to be only 1,000 less and so he was eliminated.
The winner of the EPT Prague €10k High Roller will get €606,440 with 39 players finishing in the money. There were 309 entries in all, creating a €3,028,200 prize pool. There were 233 unique players - a record for Prague – with 76 re-entries. There were 126 survivors on Day 1 yesterday which, with 15 entries (or re-entries) today, brought the total Day 2 starting field to 141.
There were only two new players who signed up today that didn't play yesterday; Daniel Dvoress and Jussi Nevanlinna. Dvoress has already been eliminated, but Nevanlinna has been doing alright for himself so far.
Nevanlinna plays 136,500 after an interesting hand someone from the floor staff told us. The player under the gun apparently opened and called Nevanlinna's three bet. That player then pushed all in into Nevanlinna on a board of rainbow. Nevanlinna, who's isn't one to take too long to make a decision normally, had to think about it for quite some time.
Eventually someone called the clock on him and with five seconds to go, he made the call holding . His opponent had for not much of anything and the turn blanked and the river gave them both a pair of kings.
Shannon Shorr had checked from the big blind and Thomas Muehlocker had bet out 16,400 from under the gun plus one. Shorr then bumped it up to 50,000 which sent his opponent into the tank.
A minute passed before Muehlocker talked himself into a call, only to muck his hand when Shorr tabled his for trip fours.
With the board showing Erwann Pecheux led out for 24,800 from the hijack. Marvin Rettenmaier was his opponent on the button and thought about his decision for a few minutes.
“Clock,” called Govert Metaal, who had enough of waiting. The floor was called over but just as they arrived Rettenmaier reluctantly made the call .
Pecheux then tabled his for ace-high and after Rettenmaier noticed the bluff rolled over his for a rivered set.
