Welcome to Day 1 of the EPT Prague €10,300 Pot-Limit Omaha
At 2 pm local time, the second €10,300 buy-in event of the 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague gets underway as the attention switches to Pot-Limit Omaha at the Hilton Prague.
Earlier this week, Akin Tuna took down the opening €10,300 No-Limit Hold'em event of the festival after he came through a 38 player field which included a heads-up battle with Ognyan Dimov to scoop the €125,330 first-place prize.
12 months ago, Sweden's Niklas Astedt took home €81,600 for victory in this PLO event as part of the PokerStars Championship Prague, following a heads-up battle with Finland's Sampo Ryynanen.
When the action gets underway in this two-day event, each player will sit down with a 50,000 chip stack, with 14 40-minute levels scheduled for Day 1. There will be a 20-minute break at the end of level 3, 6 and 12, with a 75-minute dinner break scheduled for the end of level 8 (approximately 8 pm). Late registration will be open until the end of the dinner break, and players are allowed a single re-entry.
