Welcome to Day 1 of the 2018 PokerStars.es EPT Barcelona €10,300 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller
At 12.30 p.m. local time, the next High Roller of the 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona festival will kick off and the mixed game aficionados are expected to jump into the action for Day 1 of the €10,300 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller. One year ago, under the umbrella of the PokerStars Championship, it was French poker pro Sylvain Loosli that cut a deal with Pedro Zagalo and claimed the trophy and payday of €236,400 in a field of 111 entries.
Among those to cash in this event back in 2017 were also such notables as Oliver Weis, Jan Suchanek, Yuri Martins Dzivielevski, Peter Eichhardt, Emil Patel and Laszlo Bujtas. Suchanek has already confirmed that he will take part in the event, while many other notables still have a stack for Day 2 of the record-breaking €5,300 Main Event.
Day 1 will play a total of 15 levels of 40 minutes each and the registration remains open for the first eight levels until approximately 6.30 p.m. local time. There will be a dinner break after the end of level 12 and Day 1 is expected to wrap up after midnight local time. During the registration period, a single re-entry is allowed.
