In Search of a Final Table
Today is the day! On the fifth day of the PokerStars.net European Poker Tour Prague Main Event 22 will be cut down to eight. Eight players will face off on the final table tomorrow, 14 will fall today.
Yesterday we started out with 61 players and Ludovic Lacay in the lead. The Frenchman couldn't do anything right the entire day and fell in a disappointing 33rd place (€18,400) after, amongst others, running kings into aces and top pair top kicker into two pair.
Others did live up to the highest of expectations. Ole Schemion showed the world one more time this year what great a player he is. With an unparalleled demeanor and table presence he made everyone at the table not to mess with him. A check raise here, three and five bet there and a constant pressure on all opponents he made sure respect was shown.
One player however, wasn't all that impressed. The respect must be there from Max Silver but fear not so much. The UKIPT champion who successfully transitioned to the big league played many pots with the German and came on top in most cases. The cooler against Lacay helped as well, but what made Max Silver the chip leader was above all incredible craftsmanship.
At 12:00 CET the tournament will commence with Level 25 (15,000/30,000/3,000). You can follow the action right here on PokerNews.com, both in writing and on the live stream page where PokerStars is again showing every hand of the feature table.
