We're three days into 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, and at long last, it's time to crown some winners, or at least one in the €10,300 High Roller that opened the series.
Just five of 38 entries remain in the tournament. The players still competing for €125,330: Akin Tuna, Daniel Dvoress, Davidi Kitai, Orpen Kisacikoglu and Ognyan Dimov. Each player has a solid shot to start this festival off in the best way possible, by pocketing a six-figure score, as even short stack Kisacikoglu has 15 big blinds while leader Tuna is under 60.
Everyone has €33,170 locked up as the bubble did burst in the waning levels of Day 2.
Here's how the table will be laid out to start things off at 12:30 p.m. local time:
| Seat | Player | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Akin Tuna | 572,000 |
| 2 | Daniel Dvoress | 396,000 |
| 3 | Davidi Kitai | 490,000 |
| 4 | Orpen Kisacikoglu | 150,000 |
| 5 | Ognyan Dimov | 272,000 |
They're returning to blinds and antes of 5,000/10,000/10,000 with one-hour levels and the 30-second clock in play, so things should progress relatively quickly. Stay tuned to PokerNews to see the first champ of EPT Prague 2018 crowned.
