Single-Day Action Starts at 12:30
Today, it's time for the first of 2 Single-Day High Rollers here at the PokerStars Championship Barcelona. In the main room, Day 1b of the Main Event will get underway. But the high rollers with €25,500 to spare, clutter up in a different room to battle it out for another PokerStars spade and the accompanying prize money.
Play gets underway at 12:30 local time (in about 90 minutes) and players start with 100,000 in chips. Levels are 30 minutes long and start with 500/1,000 with a 100-ante. A single reentry is allowed, handing over another €25,500 secures you another start stack if you bust within the first 8 levels.
The Single-Day High Roller is a fixture on the PokerStars Championship schedule and was so too on its predecessor the European Poker Tour. Last year, Pratyush Buddiga won the event for €690,275 while runner up [Removed:17] walked away with the most money (€704,755) after striking a deal 3-handed with Andrey Shatilov who also took home a hefty sum (€606,020). 165 entries were made lasting year, consisting of 131 unique players and 34 reentries.
The most recent €25,500 Singe-Day high roller was played in Monte Carlo back in May. Philipp Gruissem won that event for €485,135 while Adrian Mateos won the €50,000 variant for €908,000.
