Another Star-Studded Field Set For the Second €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em Event at 12:30 p.m.
For the second consecutive day, some of the biggest names in poker will gather inside the Hilton Prague for another €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague beginning at 12:30 p.m local time.
The first big buy-in event of the festival was won by Dutch pro Teun Mulder last night, when he defeated Lithuania’s Paulius Plausinaitis heads-up to earn €180,150 in the 15-entry field. Swedish online legend Niklas Astedt also cashed in third place, while Ole Schemion, Kayhan Mokri, Japan’s all-time leading money winner Tsugunari Toma, and past EPT champions Steve O’Dwyer, Dimitar Danchev, and Ognyan Dimov fell short of the money.
