175 Players Back on Day 3 of the EPT Prague Main Event
Another day of competition starts at the Hilton Prague, with Day 3 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague Main Event. After Day 2 saw the bubble burst, 175 players out of a record 1,285 entrants progressed to the next step in the largest EPT Prague Main Event ever. Each of them is guaranteed to win €9,100, but they are also all aiming for the first prize of €1,030,000.
After Day 2, Belgium's Arthur Thiriart finished just shy of the million-chip mark, bagging the lead with 959,000 chips. He is closely followed by Duco ten Haven (920,000), while the gap is wider with Dejan Jakovljevic (684,000), Jacob Amsellem (680,000) and Jovan Kenjic (679,000), who complete the top five.

Dietrich Takes from Huber
Livello 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Moritz Dietrich opened to 10,000 from middle position, and was only called by Stefan Huber in the big blind.
Dietrich continued with a bet of 7,000 on the 4♠10♥K♠ flop, but Huber didn't back down and check-called. Then both players checked on the turn 7♠.
The J♥ came on the river, and Huber checked again, so Dietrich bet 25,000. But after a few seconds, Huber decided to fold.
