Points mean prizes at PPT

The PPT field has returned ready for action and 14 players have been lost inside 45 minutes, meaning just six more will miss the Fantasy Poker points.

The top 50 each score according to their position, with 50 for our eventual winner, 49 for second and so on until the 50th-placed finisher, who leaves with a solitary point for his team.

The points also count towards the Tour League and for current leader Ronnie Espensen, the Prague event looks a big opportunity to extend his advantage.

The Dane started the day among the shortest stacks in the room but with key rivals Paulo Calado, Hugo Almeida and Peter Csecsetka all opting out of this event, Espensen is within touching distance of further improving his position.

He has also been boosted by Day 1 exits for other potential threats, including Christos Xanthopoulous, Carlos Oliveira, Rene Knapp, Robert Haigh and Gokmen Cetin.

Meanwhile, Hungarian player Tibor Boros has managed an early double up on Day 2, getting it all in with AA vs AQ after a pre-flop raising war.
