2015 PokerStars EPT Season 12 Prague
Niall Farrell, winner of the recent European Poker Tour Malta Main Event, is up to 340,000 chips here in Prague and if he continues to accumulate chips on Day 3 and beyond, we'll be forced to start talking about the possibility of back-to-back EPT titles!
A few moments ago, Farrell raised to 5,000 and was called by the player in the small blind who check-called a 5,000 continuation bet on a flop. Farrell then folded to a 15,000 bet on the turn claiming "I was ahead until the turn."

Chip leader Gleb Tremzin and Nicolas Chouity just chopped a pot that almost was shipped to Tremzin by mistake.
Tremzin checked on a flop, Chouity checked behind, then Tremzin bet 4,700 on the turn. Chouity called before both players checked the river.
Both players held a ten, Chouity held and Tremzin , but the dealer looked to be awarding the pot to Tremzin before realising it was a chopped pot.
Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker has joined Chouity and Tremzin's table and has done so with 327,000 chips.

As we arrived at table 24 we witnessed two Dutch players battling it out. The board was and David Boyaciyan in the big blind had bet out 12,000. Abdelhakim Zoufri on the button raised it up to 27,600 and Boyaciyan went into the tank.
Boyaciyan, who finished 2nd in this event to Martin Finger back in 2011 for €535,000 and 3rd to Sotirios Koutoupas (2nd) and Ramzi Jelassi (1st) in 2012 for €310,00, said "I really don't believe you have the flush!"
"Pay and you'll see!" Zoufri replied with a tiny smile.
Boyaciyan wasn't so sure yet and continued to tank. "We never played before huh?" Boyaciyan asked his country man. "We did, but I never made an impression apparently" Zoufri said.
After a little while longer, Boyaciyan made the call and Zoufri took one last look at his cards before tossing them into the muck. A player at the table tried to convince Boyaciyan to show his cards, but the rounded Boyaciyan slid them face down into the muck. Boyaciyan up to well over the 200,000 mark, Zoufri down to just over 100,000.

[Removed:30], a French-born Malian footballer who currently is a free agent (he most recently spent time playing for Crystal Palace), just became the latest victim of Sam Chartier, who began the day as chip leader and has remained near the top of the counts throughout.
We picked up the hand on the flop when Chartier bet, how much we're not sure, and Kebe raised to 22,000. Chartier responded by moving all in and Kebe called off for what looked to be 60,000.
Kebe:
Chartier:
Chartier held top pair, but Kebe was drawing to hearts. The turn have Kebe an added gutshot, but the river proved useless. With that, the winger was sent to the rail while Chartier chipped up to just over 500K.
