An elite group helped kick off the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague festival yesterday. Today, they��ll determine who outshines the rest as they prepare to play down to a champion when Day 2 of the �10,200 No-Limit Hold��em resumes at 12:30 p.m. local time.
The event has attracted 17 entries so far, with Lithuania��s Deividas Daubaris leading the remaining nine players with 553,500. Brazilian high roller Pablo Brito Silva is in second place with 384,000 as he looks to add to his more than $2,700,000 in live earnings, including a second-place finish in a �25,500 No-Limit Hold��em event at EPT Barcelona earlier this year and a final-table run in the �50,000 Super High Roller at EPT Prague last year.
