PokerStars EPT Prague €50,000 Super High Roller Set to Get Underway
It's the largest buy-in event of the 2019 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague festival, and starting today PokerNews will bring you live coverage of the €50,000 Super High Roller which gets underway at 12:30 pm.
A whole host of familiar faces are expected in the field, including several of those who entered the earlier €10,300 High Roller. Adrian Mateos emerged victorious in that two-day event, and no doubt he will be looking for another strong performance in this three-day event.
Last year it was Matthias Eibinger who won the €50,000 Super High Roller, defeating Hungarian Andras Nemeth heads-up for €653,000 ($739,552). Since then, the Austrian also took down the PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo €50,000 Super High Roller for €844,080 ($942,495) so is one to watch when this tournament gets underway.
This tournament has unlimited re-entry with registration closing at the start of Day 2. There are eight 60-minute levels scheduled for Day 1, with a 15-minute break every two levels. Players will be used to it by now, having been a staple of High Rollers on the EPT for a while now, but there will also be a 30-second shot clock in use throughout. Players will each receive six 30-second time extensions at the start of play, with three additional time extensions both at the start of day 2 and once the final table is reached.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for full coverage of this Super High Roller event, or of Day 2 of the EPT National which also takes place today.
