Day 1a of the 2015 PokerStars.com EPT Season 12 Prague €5,300 Main Event saw 254 players take to the felt, but after eight 75-minute levels of play, approximately 145 punched their ticket to Day 2, including EPT regular Anton Astapau, who leads the pack with 190,600 in chips.
Others to make it through the day were Ghattas Kortas (151,200), EPT11 Grand Final champ Adrian Mateos (150,200), Rainer Kempe (137,400), Donnacha O'Dea (72,400), and Byron Kaverman (67,900).
Of course not everyone was lucky enough to bad chips.
