Day 2 of €50,000 EPT Super High Roller Kicks Off at 12:30 p.m. CET
Welcome to Day 2 of the €50,000 Super High Roller which kicks off at 12:30 P.M. CET inside the wonderful Hilton Prague, the home of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague.
Yesterday's action saw 49 entries, with 26 of those advancing through to Day 2. PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton (1,672,000) leads the pack of survivors and was the only player to bag and tag a seven-figure chip stack.
Rounding out the top three chip stacks are Rodrigo Sirichuk (965,000) and Daniel Dvoress (926,000) following a fruitful day at the poker table.
As it stands, €2,376,990 sits in the prize pool and that figure is expected to grow as late registration is upon until Day 2 begins. Payouts are yet to be determined, but PokerNews will relay that information once it is available.

Gerard Pique Hops into Super High Roller
The big story on Day 1 was the arrival of World Cup winner and recently retired soccer star Gerard Pique, who decided to sit down and battle it out with some of the best poker players in the world. The former FC Barcelona defender did well to hold his own for most of the day but was eliminated in the last level of the play.
Pique is no slouch when it comes to poker and was close to capturing an EPT High Roller title back in 2019. He finished in second place in the €25K High Roller at EPT Barcelona and banked a massive $392,950 for his efforts.
With a competitive spirit to match anyone else in the room and not one to back down from a challenge, there is the possibility that Pique may return with a fresh stack for Day 2.
