Get Ready for Day 1b of the 2023 EPT Prague Main Event
The chase for EPT Main Event Glory began yesterday at the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, with 131 players advancing from Day 1a to the tournament's second stage.
Leading the pack of survivors was Joao Mestre (359,000), who was also joined by Yulian Bogdanov (315,000) and Cheng Zhao (306,500) as the only other players to bag more than 200 big blinds.
The 412 entries have already contributed €2,808,150 to the prize pool. Of course, that figure will continue to swell as Day 1b is expected to have a bumper field filled with some of poker's biggest names.
Like yesterday, the action will kick off at 12 p.m. local time, with the action taking place at the Hilton Prague, which became a winter wonderland for last night's player's party.
Will there be a few sore heads this morning? Likely. But hopefully, any ailments will quickly subside as the next chapter of the €5,300 EPT Main Event unfolds.

A First Pot for Saout
Niveau 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
2022 EPT Prague runner-up Antoine Saout opened from under the gun, and was called by Philipp Yalmanian in the big blind.
Both of them checked on the 7♣4♦2♦. But after Yalmanian checked again on the turn J♦, Saout bet 300. Yalmanian quickly called.
The 10♦ landed on the river, and Yalmanian checked again. Saout checked back, and waited for Yalmanian to show his Q♣10♥ to reveal J♥9♥ and win the pot.

Pepping Loses Portion of Big Stack
Niveau 1
: 100/100, 100 ante
With 3,500 chips in the middle, Roelof Pepping checked from the hijack to Maksym Scheingart on the button. Scheingart then made a bet of 2,000 on the 7♠9♣5♦2♠ board, which Pepping called.
The subsequent Q♦ river completed the board, and Pepping checked to Scheingart once more. He made one more bet, of 5,500 chips, but Pepping quickly let his hand go to grant his opponent the pot.
