Jour 1 a débuté
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.
The tournament clock shows five players registered, but just one has taken their seat. That is defending champion Matthias Eibinger who will be looking to go back-to-back here in Prague.
