Day 2 will begin at Level 11 with blinds at 2,500/5,000 and a big blind ate of 5,000. Day 1 drew 56 total entries and 25 made it to Day 2. But late registration is still open until the start of play, so it is likely that there will be a few more entries who jump in with the 20 big blind stack to take a shot at Day 2 to further increase the current prizepool of €543,200 as well as the €5,000 for each bounty collected by each player.
Each level on Day 2 will be 30-minutes in length and the plan is to play all the way down to a winner as PokerNews will have all the action as the first winner is crowned in this kick-off event in Prague.
