A Star-Studded Field Expected for Event #10: €111,111 High Roller for One Drop
Welcome back to the World Series of Poker Europe at King's Casino in Rozvadov. The tournament that most have been waiting for, Event #10: €111,111 High Roller for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em, has finally arrived.
The tournament staff has confirmed that there are 104 players pre-registered for this prestige event. The star-studded lineup is expected to consist of players like Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Patrik Antonius, Bryn Kenney, the Poker Masters Purple Jacket Winner Steffen Sontheimer, and Fedor Holz.
This will be the first time for this event to be played on European soil. It has been taking place in Las Vegas for the past few years, with Doug Polk winning the most recent version this summer for over $3.6 million. There will be a guaranteed €10,000,000 prizepool that will surely be reached.
Players will begin with a whopping 2,000,000 chips and the blinds will start at 5,000/10,000. Blind levels will be 60-minutes in length with a 15-minute break every two levels. There will be 10 levels played on Day 1 and registration will remain open until the beginning of level 13 on Day 2. On each player's first entry, €11,111 will be donated to the One Drop charity. There are unlimited re-entries available for €100,000 apiece afterwards.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the up-to-date action throughout the entire event. The action will kick off at 2:00 P.M. local time.
