Brazilian Phenom Pablo Brito Silva Chases Another Big Score on Day 2 of the €10,200 No-Limit Hold'em
An elite group helped kick off the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague festival yesterday. Today, they’ll determine who outshines the rest as they prepare to play down to a champion when Day 2 of the €10,200 No-Limit Hold’em resumes at 12:30 p.m. local time.
The event has attracted 17 entries so far, with Lithuania’s Deividas Daubaris leading the remaining nine players with 553,500. Brazilian high roller Pablo Brito Silva is in second place with 384,000 as he looks to add to his more than $2,700,000 in live earnings, including a second-place finish in a €25,500 No-Limit Hold’em event at EPT Barcelona earlier this year and a final-table run in the €50,000 Super High Roller at EPT Prague last year.
