Day 2 of PokerStars EPT Prague €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em at King's Casino Prague gets underway today Wednesday, March 16 at 1 p.m. CET.

Andras Nemeth has given himself an excellent chance of claiming his second 2021 EPT Prague title, as he leads the current field of five with a stack of 397,000.

Nemeth triumphed earlier on the series, winning the €25,000 Single Day High Roller II for a cool €211,760.

Others who advanced from include Stephen Chidwick, Chris Brewer, Johan Guilbert and Daniel Dvoress.

Yesterday's action saw ten entries, with the likes of Timothy Adams, Rodrigo Seluoan, Marius Gierse and Nick Petrangelo bowing out on Day 1.

Brewer was also an early Day 1 casualty after running into quads but the American opted to re-enter. It proved to be a fruitful decision as he immediately doubled up with a flush, cracking the set of kings held by Seluoan.

Late registration closes at the beginning of Day 2 and the Day 1 bust outs are all expected to return along with a host of poker's finest players.
