PokerStars has replaced the European Poker Tour brand with PokerStars Championship, but it's still a very similar event as the Grand Final was in recent years. The entire poker circus has once again set foot in the Monte-Carlo Casino® and like last year, there's a €100,000 Super High Roller.
This year's edition attracted a field of 61 entries, similar to last year's edition where Ole Schemion beat a field of 61. Here's a comparison between the events since it's inception back in 2012.
Day 2 of the 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® €100,000 Super High Roller has started.
From the 56 entries, 38 survived the first day of action. As the players returned at 12:30 local time, registration was closed and the prize pool will be calculated soon. Four players joined the action today, making for a total of 60 entries.
The first level of play is Level 9 with blinds at 3,000 and 6,000 with a 1,000-ante.
Like yesterday, live updates can be found exclusively on the PokerStars Blog. We'll focus on feature stories and will start the live updates tomorrow as the Main Event kicks off at noon local time.
