European Poker Tour -- Prague Day 2

Day 2 at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague €5,000 no-limit hold’em main event welcomed back 328 players, and after six 75-minute levels of poker, less than a third of that field of players remained. Day 3 will see 95 players return tomorrow at noon, and the money bubble will burst when 80 of them remain.

Team PokerStars pro and reigning EPT Grand Final champion Pieter de Korver (pictured left) finished sitting in third place with 465,800.

Hand of the Day:

Yann Brosolo Jumps Out in Front

With blinds at 1,200-2,400 with a 200 ante, Yann Brosolo raised preflop, and an opponent reraised on his left. Brosolo made the call, and the flop was dealt J 4 3. Brosolo checked, his opponent bet, and Brosolo raised enough to put his adversary all in. The player made the call, but he was soon disappointed when they turned over their cards:

Brosolo: J J
Opponent: A A

Turn and River: 9 and 4

Brosolo won the hand, eliminated his opponent, and grew his stack to 420,000 in the process.
