The pot stood at 35,000 with two players looking at a full board of 4?10?Q?8?Q?.
Tran Tuan, in the big blind, checked the action to Jan-Eric Schwippert, in early position. Schwippert bet out 18,000, sending Tuan into the tank.
Tuan was in the tank for so long that the clock was called. Under the tournament floor's watchful eye, Tuan was given thirty seconds to act, prompting him to raise to 45,000. Schwippert made a quick call.
Tuan tabled Q?Q? for quad queens, which consequently erupted the table into controversy as many players vocalised their opinion that Tuan was actively wasting their time.
Natan Chauskin shoved the button for his last 20,000, and Jules Dickerson jammed 70,000 in the small blind, putting Julien Sitbon in the tank for a couple of minutes. After apologizing to the table, Sitbon made the call.
Dickerson was in good shape as both opponents had the same hand, and the board ran out A?K?J?K?9?, for Dickerson to double through Sitbon, and earn a bounty.
Pokerstars Ambassador Parker Talbot bought in at the start of Day 2 and didn't take long to get the chips into the middle as he shoved 30,000 in the hijack and was looked up by Eros Calderone in the big blind.
Parker Talbot: A?Q?
Eros Calderone: A?10?
Talbot was in great shape as the board ran out J?8?5?3?3? for him to hold.
Play resumes at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, with Day 2 of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty. Commencing at 12:30 p.m. local time at the Hilton Prague, players will continue battling it out with €1,000 of the buy-in going to the bounty pool.
159 of the 642 entrants from Day 1 bagged a stack for the start of play today, with plenty more players expected to enter before the end of the registration period. Late registration ends when play resumes, and all new players will receive a starting stack of 30,000 chips.
Day 2 sees the mystery bounties come into play, and each player will get a bounty token. Players earns tokens by busting others, and the tokens will allow them to pull one golden envelope per player they eliminate.
Leading the field is Fehim Hajdari from Denmark, who bagged a stack of 310,000 chips. This puts the Dane in a good position to take bounties from shorter stacks left over from Day 1, or fresh faces entering today's action. Hajdari is looking for his third cash in Prague, after claiming a min-cash in the €1,050 Hyper Turbo Freezeout and €1,100 Eureka Main Event.
Second is Alexandru Danes, who collected 306,500 on Day 1, while Gab Yong Kim sits in third place on the leaderboard with 301,500 chips.
