The Road to the Money Headlines Day 3 of the EPT11 Prague
Welcome back to Prague for Day 3 of the final EPT in 2014. Today's play will be dominated by the bubble. The remaining 200 players will all have hopes of being amongst 159 players to make the money and guarantee themselves €8,970 for their efforts.
The record breaking amount of entrants, 1107, means that the tournament has generated a massive prize pool of €5,300,000 with the winner set to receive €969,000.
Brian Altman from the United States leads the field with 704,100. He won his seat for Prague in a €320 NL Deep Hyper Turbo on PokerStars and will be looking to convert that into a maiden victory this week. Close behind is Gustav Nordh with 584,000 in chips followed by Omar Lakhdari with 568,000 in third place.
Team PokerStars Pros are still in force with Liv Boeree (179,000), Mickey Petersen (168,000), Vanessa Selbst (139,000), Eugene Katchalov (116,300), George Danzer (98,700), Isaac Haxton (66,500) and Johnny Lodden (56,300) still in contention as well as other notables including Davidi Katai (342,300), Shannon Shorr (322,200), Brian Kim (176,800), Olivier Busquet (154,400) and start of Day 2 chip leader Andrey Zaichenko (253,400).
