The 584 players that entered this season's PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague main event, have been sheared down to a lean 95- after two solid days of play- leaving only 15 more to go before the players can finally get a taste of some of that EUR2,842,100 in prize money.

Among those 95, still sits a few well known pros including Luca Pagano, Sandra Naujoks, Arnaud Mattern, Nicolas Levi and Marcin Horecki. 

Leading the pack is Frenchman Yann Brosolo with 574,000 in tournament chips.  Brosolo's most recent cash, according to tournament tracking site TheHendonMob.com, was a third place finish at a $500 Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza tournament for about $18,500.  This event- if he can hold his lead- would net him EUR682,000- or over a million in US money; a substantial step up and certainly one the young pro is possibly thinking about at this very moment, somewhere in Prague.
