The 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague is well underway here at Hilton Prague. The first flight of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event took off earlier today, and flight 1b will begin this evening at 6 p.m.

They will have 30-minute blinds for the first 16 levels, which then increase to 60 minutes at level 17. A single reentry is allowed per flight. Players will start with 30,000 chips at 100/100/100 in level one.
There will be 20-minute breaks after every four levels on Day 1. All flights will play down to 15 percent of the field on Day 1, and all players who make Day 2 will be in the money.
