The one thing we can say definitively is that it was a record breaking day at GSOP Prague.

500 players made this is the biggest ever one day field for a poker tournament in the Czech Republic and the biggest GSOP event in the tour’s two season history.

With the record breaking out of the way and newly signed Bet24 Team Captain and Cross-Atlantic WSOP bracelet Winner Jesper Hougaard in the mix, hopes were high for the day.

Unfortunately, Hougaard hit the rail early, bluffing off his stack with sixes against queens.

However, Anders Jensen carried the Bet24 flag to an almost 50k stack and Finnish Team Pro Kimmo Kurko built his up close to 70k by the time eight levels were through.

Add in surviving qualifiers Srboljubs Stojilkovic, Jesper Hansen, Mikkel Svarre, and Markus Lehto and there are enough Bet24 players among the 215 that pushed through the day to ensure the team is in with a shot.

No longer in with a shot is GSOP Greece winner Sergio Marti Aguiar, who joined the likes of Irish Open winner James Mitchell on the rail early, along with more than half the 500-player field.

Like Team Beat24 Captain Hougaard, they’ll be stuck enjoying the rest of the week in Prague, which has quickly developed a reputation as Europe’s biggest party city.

The BLUFF Live! video crew talked Jesper a bit about that it in our Day 1 video recap, plus we’ve got a look at Prague’s Old Town Square Christmas Market, The GSOP Live Welcome Party, the end of day chip counts and a whole lot more.
