Les 119 rescapés d'un field de 1 190 entrants revenaient dimanche au King's Casino pour le Jour 3 de l'EPT Prague et 5 Français ont franchi l'obstacle. 42 joueurs seront en lice lundi pour le Day 4 à suivre sur PokerNews et en streaming.
Finaliste en 2019 de l'EPT Prague après avoir fait très mal à Pierre Calamusa, le Coréen Gab Yong Kim s'est installé en tête d'un tournoi qui promet un gain à 7 chiffres à son vainqueur. La route est encore très longue puisque les participants du Jour 4 ne sont pour le moment assurés que d'un gain de 18 000€ soit un un peu moins de 4 buy-ins.
La compétition promet d'être intense avec les Néerlandais Ten Haven et Teun Mulder mais aussi le vainqueur du Main Event WSOP Europe Jack Sinclair, tous les trois situés dans le premier quart du peloton. Armin Rezai et le Français Manuel Labous reviendront aussi avec un bon tapis et plus d'un million de jetons soit mieux que la moyenne.
Les grinders Ezequiel Waigel et Robert Heidorn sont au contact aussi alors que Dimitar Danchev, le vainqueur du Main Event WSOP et Bruno Fitoussi font parler leur expérience de vieux briscard.
Plus jeune mais déjà avec une décade sur les plus grand tournois du monde, Paul Tedeschi a encore plus de 20 blindes pour manoeuvrer sur des niveaux de 90 minutes. Le constat vaut aussi pour le Team Pro Winamax Adrian Mateos et le double finaliste du Main Event WSOP, le Français Antoine Saout.
Dernier tricolore qualifié pour le Jour 4, l'amateur Alexandre Amiel n'aura lui pas le droit à l'erreur, il peut encore rêver une nuit supplémentaire d'un gain de 1 033 520€.

77 joueurs ont chuté lors du Jour 3 parmi lesquels 8 Français. Tristan Forge s'est incliné d'entrée en 113e position pour 11,140€. Le Team Pro Unibet Arnaud Enselme n'a pas franchi de palier supplémentaire non plus (103e) alors que Damien Gayer (89e) et Yunus Ekinci (88e) se sont glissés dans le Top 100 pour 12 350€.
Bruno Lopes alias Kool Shen n'avait pas un tapis pour foutre le feu et il a résisté jusqu'en 84e place pour le même gain, précédent de peu Laurent Cessy (83e) dans le rail. Serge Chechin (58e pour 14 720€) a ajouté un deep-run de plus à sa semaine tchèque avant que Cédric Schwaederle ne s'incline en fin de journée. L'expatrié maltais termine 50e pour 17 780€, le gain minimum des 42 participants du Jour 4.
La journée a aussi été fatale à Raoul Refos (113e), Jordan Westmorland (110e), Ana Marquez (109e), Conor Berseford (105e), le finaliste Main Event WSOP Jorryt van Hoof (104e) ou encore le Team Pro PokerStars Rafael Moraes (102e). Juan Pardo (101e) a lui pu filer très vite sur le High Roller presque quotidien à 25 000€ l'entrée.
Le vainqueur WSOP tchèque Martin Kabrhel n'a pas joué les James Bond plus loin que la 99e alors que l'influenceur japonais Masato Yokosawa a prouvé qu'il ne faisait pas que twitter (93e).
Belarmino de Souza (79e), Simeon Naydenov (77e), Dinesh Alt (72e), le Canadien Daniel Dvoress (69e) et enfin le vainqueur du PCA Dominik Panka (52e) et le champion de l'EPT Barcelona Piotr Nurzynski (51e) n'ont pas emballé de jetons et devront se rabattre sur les multiples tournois annexes encore au programme du festival.
Le Main Event reprendra sans eux, lundi à midi dans le casino situé dans l'hôtel Hilton et sous l'oeil des reporters de PokerNews...
Niveau 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The 2021 PokerStars EPT Prague €5,300 Main Event is one step closer to crowning a champion. After five levels of 90 minutes each, the 1,190 entry strong field has been cut down to the final 42 hopefuls in the King's Casino at the Hilton Hotel Prague. Three EPT champions of the popular live poker circuit remain in contention to potentially become the third two-time winner and this also includes Hossein Ensan, who lifted the coveted trophy back in 2015.
However, it is South Korea's Gab Yong Kim at the top of the leaderboard with a stack of 2,300,000. Kim knows what it takes to run deep in the marquee event in the capital of the Czech Republic as he finished 9th for €74,770 in the last live edition back in 2019. Trailing Kim by only five big blinds is Dawid Kuliberda (2,200,000) while Demetrio Caminita follows not far behind with 1,850,000.
EPT Prague €5,300 Main Event Day 3 Top 10 Chip Counts

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gab Yong Kim | South Korea | 2,300,000 | 115 |
| 2 | Dawid Kuliberda | Poland | 2,200,000 | 110 |
| 3 | Demetrio Caminita | Italy | 1,850,000 | 93 |
| 4 | Duco ten Haven | Netherlands | 1,550,000 | 78 |
| 5 | Teun Mulder | Netherlands | 1,510,000 | 76 |
| 6 | Leonardo Romeo | Italy | 1,400,000 | 70 |
| 7 | David Huspeka | Czech Republic | 1,350,000 | 68 |
| 8 | Erik Bauer | Netherlands | 1,310,000 | 66 |
| 9 | Jack Sinclair | United Kingdom | 1,230,000 | 62 |
| 10 | Mario Navarro | Spain | 1,230,000 | 62 |
The overnight top ten also includes Dutch High Roller Teun Mulder (1,510,000) and the 2018 WSOP Europe Main Event champion Jack Sinclair (1,230,000). Dimitar Danchev leads the trio of former EPT Main Event winners with a stack of 845,000, followed by Ensan (765,000) and Adrian Mateos (495,000). Fellow former champions Dominik Panka and Piotr Nurzynski were sent to the rail in the penultimate level of the night.
Notables returning for Day 4 include Armin Rezaei, Robert Heidorn, Bruno Fitoussi, Paul Tedeschi, Antoine Saout, Luigi Shehadeh and Alexandros Kolonias. PokerStars ambassador Rafael Moraes was among the 119 returning contenders but ran out of chips early on, finishing in 102nd place for €11,140. He was joined on the rail by the likes of Jorryt van Hoof, Ana Marquez, Conor Beresford, Martin Kabrhel, Masato Yokosawa, Simeon Naydenov, and Daniel Dvoress.
Moraes lost a flip to Mario Navarro when ace-king failed to catch any help against pocket tens. Kabrhel was also among the early casualties when he was unable to solve a kicker problem with a dominated ace. The popular Youtuber and GPI award winner Yokosawa saw his hopes vanish after he flopped top pair only for Boris Angelov to turn two pair.
Eventual chip leader Kim consistently added chips to his growing stack and scored several knockouts including a memorable double elimination. The biggest pot of the day was awarded to Caminita over on the feature table when Germany's Andreas Boelling got it in with top pair and the nut flush blocker.
In the late stages of the day, the pace of eliminations slowed down. High-profile casualties included the two former EPT champions Panka and Nurzynski, who departed within a few minutes from each other. Nurzynski saw his pocket aces cracked by ace-ten when Alexandre Amiel hit running cards to a straight.
The remaining 42 contenders have locked up a payday of €17,780 so far but all eyes are set on the top prize worth €1,033,520. Another three tournament days remain to crown a champion and Day 4 will commence on Monday, March 14, 2022, at noon local time. The blinds will then continue in level 22 at 10,000/20,000 and a big blind ante of 20,000.
It is expected that Day 4 will consist of five 90-minute levels while Day 5 will then play down to the official final table. PokerStars will be broadcasting the live stream action on a security delay of 30 minutes on the YouTube and Twitch channels. Furthermore, the PokerNews team will be on the floor from start to finish.
