At Least Two New Entries

For the first time ever, a €10,100 qualifier for the €100,000 Super High Roller took place after Day 1 of the event was done last night. A total of 30 unique players registered, with four of them using the option to reenter. That made for a total of three seats to be given away, plus some cash for the fourth-place finisher.

Andrew Chen, Imad Derwiche, and Anton Astapau won a seat, while EPT Vienna champion Oleksii Khoroshenin finished fourth, and former EPT Grand Final runner-up Jack Salter bubbled the event in fifth place.

As Andrew Chen survived Day 1 with 157,000 in chips, he gets to keep the €100,000 prize. The other two winners, Derwiche and Astapau, will start in half an hour with a crisp 250,000-chip stack. Khoroshenin has the option to either add the needed money to enter or just pocket the cash.
