PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC – Day 1B got underway today with good sized field of 365 entrants, three of whom are Cake Poker qualifiers.

The sizable second part of Day 1 makes this the biggest poker tournament ever held in the Czech or Slovak Republics with a combined total of 584 players in the PokerStars.com EPT Prague, Season 6. This makes for a steadily growing tournament with 570 players last year and 555 in the inaugural tournament.

The prize pool amounts to €2,842,100 with top spot taking home €682,000.

Players of note in the field today included three-time Wimbledon champion, Boris Becker. Unfortunately for Becker, he busted in Level 4.

Cake Players in Day 1B:

GP18089

GP18089 is from Athens and it’s already his 6th EPT attendance. He brought his wife and friends all the way from Athens to Prague, altogether they are 15 people, so it’s a combination of Poker and Vacation for GP18089.

LuckyDuy

It’s the second EPT for LuckyDuy and his journey wasn’t that long as he is from Prague. (Unfortunately LuckyDuy has just busted).

Fish16

Fish16 is from UK and a very experienced live tournament player with nine significant cashes already this year, two of which came at the WSOP.

Your chance to join the team in Prague might have passed, but Aussie Millions qualifiers are in full swing. The final qualifiers run each Sunday night at 8pm ET. Check out the Aussie Millions qualifier schedule for more information.
