"Hey Tim, didn't you win a Tournament Today?"

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Timothy Adam's raise from under the gun was called by two opponents including Alessio Casiraghi in the big blind. Only the Italian check-called a bet of 4,000 on the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop and did so again for 11,500 on the {4-Hearts} turn.

The {3-Spades} fell on the river and Casiraghi checked. Adams moved all in for around 40,000 and the Italian called for slightly less. Adams rolled over the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for the flopped nuts and Casiraghi mucked {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for the inferior straight to join the rail.

"Hey Tim, didn't you win a tournament today?" Dietrich Fast in the one seat asked and Adams just smiled back. Fast had bubbled the €50,000 Super High Roller while Adams finished off that tournament today to claim the trophy. Adams is also on track in the Main Event with a decent stack after this hand as well.

According to the PokerStars Blog team, recent World Series of Poker Europe Main Event winner champion Marti Roca De Torres has scored a big double through Steve O'Dwyer soon after being moved to the table.

Roca De Torres raised to 1,600 from the cutoff and O'Dwyer three-bet to 6,400. Boris Kuzmanovic called, as did the Spaniard, and the flop fell {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. It was O'Dwyer who bet 7,800 after it was checked to him and Kuzmanovic folded, while Rosa De Torres check-raised to 25,900. O'Dwyer called and the {2-Hearts} fell on the turn.

Roca De Torres moved all in for 61,300 and O'Dwyer called with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, while the Spaniard was ahead with {J-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair. The {A-Spades} on the river was a blank and Roca De Torres doubled into a massive stack.

Mrakes Shines on Home Turf on Day 1a of PokerStars Championship Prague Main Event

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Michal Mrakes
Michal Mrakes

It's already been a great year for Michal Mrakes in his home country of Czech Republic, and it could be still better if he can take down PokerStars Championship Prague €5,300 Main Event.

While there's a long way to go before he can make that a reality, Mrakes has taken the first step here on Day 1a, bagging a huge stack of 202,700 to rank first among the 77 players who bagged chips at the close of play. A total of 193 entries were logged in the first of two starting flights.

Mrakes has already his two nice scores in his home country this year. He got first in a €1K event here for €200,000 and then took 14th in the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event for €46,594. Overall, he's just shy of $1 million in cashes, so he'll be a player to keep an eye on going forward.

Mrakes got a huge stack early on, reportedly picking up aces against kings and then getting the blades again in a massive all in pot, this time holding against a player who tried jamming rags at the wrong time.

Another WSOPE headliner — actually, the WSOPE headliner — also made waves. Marti Roca de Torres, who took down the Main Event just a couple of hours to the west last month, sits unofficially in second with 170,900. He flopped top two with jack-nine suited in a three-bet pot against Steve O'Dwyer, and the super high roller, who had been looking like a favorite to finish among the leaders, sent Roca de Torres a full double when he couldn't get away from pocket tens.

O'Dwyer did manage to bag 52,800, though. Others making it through included Martin Staszko, €50K Super High Roller winner Timothy Adams, Sergi Reixach, Adrian Mateos and Dietrich Fast.

Anton Wigg, Sam Greenwood, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, David Peters, Juha Helppiinterviewed here by PokerNews — and PokerStars Team Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier are among those who will have to count on a side event or one of the remaining high rollers if they hope to add a trophy to their collections from here in the Czech capital.

Players who didn't bust out of Day 1a can fire Day 1b, expected to be the larger of the two starting flights, which starts Wednesday at noon. Come back to PokerNews then for more live coverage.
