We have a late result from EPT Prague - the 10K No Limit Holdem event only had 42 participants (less than the 50 player minimum required to qualify for PTPR Points) - however - there were a total of (8) re-entries in the event thus qualifying as a Tier 3 event .. and a good thing this event did qualify!

Plenty of name players posted points in this event. John Andress picks up the win collecting his second PTPR Score of the year.

Canadians Mike McDonald (2nd) and Chris McClung (7th) both scored in the event, each collecting their third PTPR Scores of the season.

But the two names holding everyone's attention are Philipp Gruissem - who collects yet a gain a high buy-in event score - and the hottest player on tour, Andrey Pateychuk.

Gruissem's third place points place him 16th overall this season, only seven points behind Elio Fox ...
