Only 16 players continue to pursue the €1,030,000 top prize in the EPT Prague Main Event, including former EPT champion Niall Farrell, Marle Spragg, Max Neugebauer and chipleader Jon Kyte.

In many ways a record-breaking EPT Prague stop this year, despite the competition, the Czech capital managed to attract players from all over the world who together made for a top-notch festival. It will culminate over the next two days, at the end of which we will know the winner of the Main Event. At the start of Friday's Day 4, 46 players were playing for the million-dollar prize in this tournament, but that number is now a thing of the past.
