Nandor Solyom was facing a ticking clock with his stack possibly on the line when we got to his table. A tournament official was counting down his final seconds of a one-minute timer with the board reading . Solyom's opponent on the button had put him to the test with an overbet shove of about 18,000. Solyom tossed in a call just as his hand was almost declared dead, and his opponent showed for a whiffed straight. Solyom had for a boat.
EPT Prague is not only the last EPT in history but also the 10 year anniversary of the event. It is only fitting that history is set. The big board is now showing 861 entrants for Day 1b. Combined with the 246 players from Day 1a, the field size has tied the EPT Prague Main Event record of 1,107 players.
Tournament organizers shared that there are at least a couple of dozen online qualifiers yet to take the seat. So now it isn't just about whether a new EPT Prague Main record will be set, but by how much it will be shattered.
We mentioned earlier about two brothers from France both in today's Day 1b field. However, the family affair is no more as just one brother remains.
Florian Decamps' stack dwindled down to 5,500 before he finally got it all in preflop with pocket nines. However, he hit the exits after he was outmatched by his opponent's pocket kings and failed to improve with the board.
Florian's brother Derek Decamps is in better shape with his stack on a different table rising to 42,000.
Three players built a huge pot at one of the tables on the stage, with the final community reading and over 40,000 in the pot. Small blind Carlo Savinelli put his last 17,200 in, and the player in the big blind took about a minute before opting to call. The third player folded what she said was a set of jacks, and Savinelli softly announced "nuts" as he tabled . The big blind moved to muck and the dealer flipped over for top set.
