Day 1a of the partypoker.net World Poker Tour Prague Main Event saw 60 players show up, and Belarusian pro Aliaksei Boika bagged the chip lead with 99,500 among the 38 survivors. Boika was trailed closely by American Brian Senie (97,200) and local favorite Vojtech Ruzicka (93,000).
The first of two starting days had a slow start, but in the end every table was filled with top names. Plenty of WPT Champions Club members showed up, and some, like Giacomo Fundaro and Tony Dunst, busted out while others such as WPT Player of the Year Anthony Zinno (50,500) and Matas Cimbolas (70,900) made it through.
Dylan Linde and Stephen Chidwick were among the players that showed up for the first hand of play, but neither benefited from it. Chidwick was knocked out during the last level while Linde bagged up just 17,200. WSOP Millionaire Maker winner Jonathan Dimmig bagged up a comfortable 77,500, followed closely by Gaelle Baumann who ended on 77,100.
Late entrants Steve O'Dwyer (65,700) and Kevin MacPhee (67,500) had great starting days, as despite only playing a few hours they managed to double the 30,000 starting stack.
Play will resume tomorrow as Day 1b kicks off at 2:00 p.m. local time. Eight levels will be played, after which the field will combine for Day 2 with 90-minute levels on Thursday.

As always, Martin Kabrhel is talking up a storm and at the same time he's throwing lots of chips in the pot. Kabrhel entered the tournament after the dinner break, and he just managed to chip up to 75,000 already.
First, a player raised to 1,200 and the player on his left called. Kabrhel three-bet from the big blind to 3,950 and only the caller called. The flop brought out and Kabrhel picked up the pot with a bet of 3,500.
Two hands later we walked in on Kabrhel battling with Simon Deadman. The board showed when Deadman checked to Kabrhel who bet 15,025.
Deadman and Kabrhel had been rather talkative heading into this hand, but the former went quiet during play.
"You don't talk to me anymore?" Kabrhel said.
"Well, because I like you I didn't bet all in," Kabrhel added, as Deadman called after a little tanking.
Kabrhel showed , and Deadman later admitted that the river was good for him.
"Ace six?" Kabrhel asked, and Deadman nodded.
Deadman dropped down to 23,000 while Kabrhel chipped up to 75,000.

The board ran out and Hanna hit the rail after just having chipped up a little bit this level.
"Now I'm gonna have to win the buy in back in the cash games," Hanna said with a smile before exiting the tournament area.
