Gieles the Man to Catch Going Into Day 2
Welcome back to beautiful Prague where at 12:30 pm local time the Season 12 edition of the European Poker Tour Prague €50,000 Super High Roller resumes.
Day 1 saw 51 entries in total (42 unique players and nine reentries) and 33 of those progressed to today's Day 2. The Netherlands' Luuk Gieles fared the best of those 33 survivors and was the only player to bag up more than one million chips when the curtain came down on proceedings after eight 60-minute levels.
As you would expect from a tournament with such an astronomical buy-in, the Super High Roller saw some of the biggest names in the business head to the Hilton Hotel in an attempt to get their hands on one the coveted trophy and what is sure to be a massive first place prize.
Among those who you'll no doubt of heard of includes the likes of Ole Schemion, Steve O'Dwyer, Mustapha Kanit, Mike Watson, Tobias Reinkemeier, Mike McDonald, Igor Kurganov, Byron Kaverman, and Stephen Chidwick.
Anyone who has a spare €50,000 available can buy in up to the start of Day 2, something Dominic Nitsche has done according to his Twitter account. Stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all of the Day 2 action from the EPT Prague €50,000 Super High Roller.
