By the end of Day 3 of the EPT Prague Main Event, just 67 players remained from the 218 that started the day. The biggest stack belongs to Abbas Moradi but Hossein Ensan, Niall Farrell, Ivan Demidov and Sam Chartier have also advanced to Day 4.
Plenty of big names fell during the early blind levels of Day 3 including Roberto Romanello Fabrice Soulier, Jean Montury, David Vamplew, Chris Moneymaker, Mickey Petersen and James Akenhead.
There were 151 paying spots in the tournament and the unfortunate title of bubble boy went to Jesus Muriel Gracia. He was all-in from the big blind for his final 5,000 chips during Level 17 (2,500/5,000 - 500 ante) and he only had to beat one player, Anton Sulymka.
Gracia had 3-2 offsuit for the nut low and he couldn't improve against Sulymka's AT suited, he was eliminated in 152nd place while the rest of the players would walk away at least €8,910 richer.
A good number of well-known players were eliminated after the bubble burst, including Vitaly Lunkin, Mike ''Timex'' McDonald, Johnny Lodden, Adrian Mateos, Bryan Paris and more.
By the end of the day, Abbas Moradi had the biggest stack, but players like Gavin O'Rourke, Niall Farrell, Sam Chartier and Kitty Kuo have also advanced.
