EPT Prague day 2 – 32 players left

The first three days of the EPT have been played already and the big field is reduced to 32 players, who will play to the final table. Our PokerStrategy coach is unfortunately already eliminated.

This is particularly frustrating for Florian, who had a very good start to the day. On day 2 he returned to his table as a chip leader with 55,000 chips. Unfortunately he was eliminated just before the bubble after losing a coinflip against Jose Navarro. Florian pushed all-in with JsJs after Navarro's raise to 8000. He finally called with JsJs, eliminating Florian and becoming chip leader temporarily.

Of the many German players who entered day 2, four are among the top 32. Adrian Koy, who is doing very well in the tournament with 345,000 chips, is just behind the chip leader, Slovenian Dagomi Palovic (357,000 chips).

Stephen Devlin, who started the day as the chip leader, was eliminated by Navarro. The latter raised preflop, called Devlin's re-raise to see a flop of JsJsJs, and bet out. Devlin pushed, only to be called by Navarro's JsJs. He showed JsJs for a gutshot + flush draw, but was sent to the rail when the Js came on the turn, simultaneously giving Navarro a massive chip lead.

Later on, Bertrand “Elky” Grospellier went out shortly before the bubble. The bubble boy was Nichlas Saarisilta, and play continued with 56 players, only to see 24 eliminations in under two hours.

The day ended with Dag Palovic, president of the Slovak Poker Federation, as the chip leader.
