After the dust settled on a rapid Day 1 of the €10,200 Mystery Bounty yesterday at the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour at the Hilton Prague, only 19 players bagged and tagged for Day 2 from a total of 36 entrants.
Andras Nemeth of Hungary streaked ahead of the rest of the field after ten levels of play, catching some heat late on in the day and bagging up a 616,000 stack - almost double that of his closest challenger, Swedish crusher Niklas Astedt (323,000). Maksim Vaskresenski of Poland (302,000) was the only other player to breach the 300,000 mark, and he completes the podium places at the start of Day 2.
Nemeth and Astedt are no strangers to EPT glory, with Nemeth seeking his fifth victory in an EPT event, and Astedt eyeing his fourth. Vaskresenski meanwhile will be aiming to grab his first spade trophy.
Plenty of other dangermen lurk in the top ten, including Thomas Santerne (279,000) and former World Champion Espen Jorstad (212,000).

: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In one of the first pots of the day, action folded around to Wouter Beltz, who pushed all in for around ten big blinds from the button. Steve O'Dwyer isolated from the small blind, shoving for his starting stack. Roman Hrabec called in the big blind with slightly less than O'Dwyer. He had Beltz covered as players turned their cards.
Wouter Beltz: A♣J♣ 
Roman Hrabec: A♠Q♠
Steve O'Dwyer: A♦6♥
The board ran out Q♦2♦9♥3♣4♦ and Hrabec paired his queen on the flop. He held to win the pot, eliminating Beltz from the tournament and leaving O'Dwyer with less than two big blinds.

Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up with short-stack Steve O'Dwyer all-in from the button, who had received two customers in Roman Hrabec and Lander Lijo in the blinds. The main pot stood at 20,000, and the side pot had swollen to 60,000 on a A♣6♦J♣3♦ board.
On the turn, Hrabec check-called after using two timebanks versus a bet of 60,000 from Lijo.
The 4♥ river completed the board, and Hrabec checked once more. Lijo used a timebank before jamming with the covering stack, prompting a quick fold from Hrabec.
Lijo tabled Q♦8♦ for queen-high, having missed his turned flush draw and he took the chunky side pot, but O'Dwyer was good with 8♣8♥.

After tripling up his short stack, Steve O'Dwyer moved all in from under the gun for around 20,000. Roman Hrabec, who had lost half of his stack the hand before, pushed all in over the top for around 115,000. Thomas Santerne then called in the big blind and had both players covered as the cards were turned.
Steve O'Dwyer: A♠8♠
Roman Hrabec: K♦Q♥
Thomas Santerne: J♥J♦
The board ran out 3♦K♣7♣8♥7♥ and Hrabec paired his king on the flop to get ahead. O'Dwyer was eliminated and Santerne lost a chunk of chips and Hrabec chipped back up.
