EPT Prague Main Event Day 1b Starts Soon
![[user153638]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Things are about to get underway here on Day 1b of the EPT Prague Main Event, which is being held here at the Hilton Prague in the Czech Republic's largest city.
Team PokerStars Pros are out in force today and we will be seeing appearances from England's Liv Boeree, Luca Pagano and Dario Minieri from Italy, Dag Palovic from Slovakia, and Martin Hruby from right here in the Czech Republic.
Other notables who will be in action include Full Tilt Poker Tour Ambassador Dermot Blain, who has been hitting the circuit hard this year when not crushing online, and UK cash game pro Ryan Spittles, who is coming straight from cashing in the Eureka High Roller last night.
Early indications show 180 players are registered so far, but many more are expected to buy in before the close of registration; in fact; we'd be surprised if that number doesn't at least double. The record here at Prague was set last year with a final tally of 864 players, so with 389 Day 1a entrants there is adecent chance Season 10 will surpass that number.
Starting stacks are 30,000, with blinds starting at 50/100. We will play eight 75 minute levels today before the day finishes and we discover who makes it through to Day 2 of this prestigious event.
Throughout the day the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be bringing you all the latest chip counts, notable hands, and action from the tables, as well as news from the wider Eureka Prague Poker Festival, player tweets, exclusive videos and more.
Read all about it right here, and follow the action live on the feature table at pokerstars.tv with commentary from James Hartigan, who will take up his new post as Senior Creative Producer on the PokerStars.com EPT production team, and his irrepressible co-host Joe “Stapes” Stapleton.
Action is set to get underway in less than an hour, so stay tuned!

First Blood to Negreanu
Nivel 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Player of the year Daniel Negreanu is here for the first hand, seated and ready to play. With four players at his table it is folded to the small blind who raises Negreanu’s big blind. “How much do you want?” Negreanu asked and threw in the required 225. “I have position, I get to see what you do first.” He continued to goad his opponent. They saw a flop of 
which saw Negreanu speculating that his opponent didn’t have a six. Undaunted his opponent bet 400 which Negreanu called. Turn card 
. “Oh you like that card.” Said Negreanu but they both checked and saw a river card 
. The small blind now bet 600. Negreanu counted out raising chips and made it 1,800 which seemed to confuse his opponent, but not enough for him to fold. He called and Negreanu quickly gave him the bad news. “Straight. I have a straight.” He said turning over 
. His opponent showed 
.
“First hand lucky. I am Romanian.” Said Negreanu’s disappointed opponent. There followed what was received as some passable Romanian from the PokerStars Pro before the dealer interrupted to tell him to take his phone off the table. He switched back to English to begin a monologue on his favourite topic: EPT tournament rules.
