There’s something about Super High Rollers on the PokerStars European Poker Tour that brings out the best in Kayhan Mokri.
Earlier this year, Mokri won the €100,000 Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona as he solidified his status as one of the best high rollers in the game. The Norwegian pro has now made his presence felt here at EPT Prague, ending Day 1 of the €50,000 Super High Roller as the chip leader over the remaining 11 players.
Mokri busted Laszlo Bujtas with top pair when Bujtas missed straight and flush draws on the river, on his way to bagging up 813,000 as he seeks another prestigious EPT title.
EPT champion Steve O’Dwyer, who won this event in 2015, is in second place. O’Dwyer was the first player eliminated on the day when he ran trip aces into Jules Dickerson’s full house but managed to build his stack up to 691,000 on his second bullet, including taking down a big pot against Mokri when he shoved for 240,000 on the river.
Day 1 Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kayhan Mokri | Norway | 813,000 | 136 |
| 2 | Steve O'Dwyer | Ireland | 691,000 | 115 |
| 3 | Juan Pardo | Spain | 685,000 | 114 |
| 4 | Tamas Adamszki | Hungary | 564,000 | 94 |
| 5 | Jules Dickerson | United Kingdom | 521,000 | 87 |
| 6 | Laszlo Bujtas | Hungary | 439,000 | 73 |
| 7 | Gregoire Auzoux | France | 425,000 | 71 |
| 8 | Vladimir Troyanovskiy | Russia | 291,000 | 49 |
| 9 | Dimitar Danchev | Bulgaria | 280,000 | 47 |
| 10 | Teun Mulder | Netherlands | 195,000 | 33 |
| 11 | Yuto Suzuki | Japan | 89,000 | 15 |
Juan Pardo (685,000), Tamas Adamszki (564,000), and Dickerson (521,000) round out the top five. Adamszki, like O’Dwyer, was one of the first players to bust. His second bullet, though, went much better as he made trip sevens to bust the luckless Bujtas, then filled up to crack Ognyan Dimov’s pocket kings in a more than 600,000-chip pot.
Bujtas required three bullets to make it through the day with 439,000. Others returning for Day 2 include Vladimir Troyanovskiy (291,000), EPT champion Dimitar Danchev (280,000), and Teun Mulder (195,000), who won a €25,000 event here in Prague earlier this week.
Some of the notable players who couldn't find a bag include Niklas Astedt and Tsugunari Toma. Indeed, two bullets weren’t enough for Astedt, the Swedish online legend, to survive Day 1, while Toma, Japan’s all-time money winner, also busted during the day.
Day 2 resumes tomorrow, on Monday December 11, at 12:30 p.m. local time. The action picks up on Level 9 with blinds of 3,000-6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante. Late registration is open until the start of Day 2, so there is still time for more players to jump in and add to the 20 total entries so far.
PokerNews will be back tomorrow inside the Hilton Prague as this star-studded field returns to battle for the prestigious title.

Heads-up on a board of 10♦J♠8♥4♥, Juan Pardo bet 40,000 from the big blind and Kayhan Mokri called on the button.
The river was the 10♠ and Pardo used a time bank before betting 70,000. Mokri also tanked for a moment before calling.
Pardo then showed A♣J♦ for two pair and Mokri mucked.

The turn brought the A♦ and O'Dwyer checked the action to his opponent who this time went big with a bet of 66,000.
O'Dwyer made the call and the river brought the K♥.
The action was then checked by both players and O'Dwyer tabled K♥Q♦ to take down a nice pot with only 15 mins left of the session.

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 11,000 under the gun, then called when Gregoire Auzoux three-bet to 41,000 in the big blind.
The flop came 8♠2♠6♠ and Auzoux continued for 31,000. Bujtas called and both players checked the K♠ turn.
The river was the 3♠ and Auzoux checked again. Bujtas then bet 105,000.
Auzoux flashed him a smile. "There's five spades, no," he said.
"Between five and seven," Jules Dickerson joked. Auzoux then folded, claiming he made a set of kings on the turn.
