First Two Flights of €1,100 Eureka Main Event Kick Off Today
The 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague kicked off yesterday at Hilton Prague and continues today with the first two starting flights of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event. Day 1a will commence at noon local time while Day 1b will later play out at 6 p.m.
The four-day event at the luxurious Eastern Europe casino will see players starting with a stack of 30,000 and blinds of 100/100/100 with levels lasting 40 minutes in duration, though levels will increase to 60 minutes beginning with Level 17.
The tournament has 25-minute breaks scheduled every three levels and there will be a 75-minute dinner break after Level 10. All flights will play until 15% of the field remains and all players will be in the money on Day 2 on Dec. 10.
