Final Starting Flight Set to Begin in €1,100 Eureka Main Event
The final starting flight of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event is all set to begin this evening here at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague. Day 1d begins at 6 p.m. local time.
The venue here at Hilton Prague has seen record numbers for this event, with well over 3,000 players already registered. Players who have yet to find a bag will have one final chance to do so this evening.
Several big names grabbed bags over the first two flights yesterday, some with large stacks. We won't see Fabrice Bigot (692,000), Konstantin Farber (475,000), or Sammy Truong (392,000) today as they have secured their spots for Saturday's Day 2. Although, they're all looking up at one man who knows this tournament all too well.
Alejandro Lococo sits atop the leaderboard after a fantastic showing on Thursday that led to him bagging 1,083,000. As last year's event winner, there might be magic here in the streets of Prague that Lococo is tapping into. He's set the bar very high for today's final flight.
Players today will get 30,000 starting chips to put to use with 20-minute blinds on this final Day 1 flight. Breaks of 20 minutes will be taken every two hours. Play will stop when 15 percent of the field is reached, with all players that make Day 2 in the money. Late registration is open until the start of Level 11. This is a single reentry per flight tournament.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be here throughout the series as well as through the end of this €1,100 Eureka Main Event. Stay tuned in here to be sure how it all shakes out. In the meantime, also check out our coverage of other ongoing events here at EPT Prague.
