The start of the tournament has been pushed back for 15 minutes, as many of the registered players have not shown up yet. The new scheduled starting time is around 12:45 p.m. and around two dozen players are currently roaming around the tournament area.
The third and final High Roller event on the EPT Malta schedule kicks off at 12:30 p.m. local time today.
The €10,000 + €300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller will play eight-handed with 60-minute levels and players starting with 50,000 in chips.
It is a three-day event and today they will attempt to get through the first 10 levels with a 20-minute break after each two and a 75-minute dinner break scheduled for the end of sixth.
A single re-entry is permitted and registration will remain open until 15-minutes before the start of Day 2 at 12:30 p.m. Friday.
Of course, a bevvy of poker superstars are expected to turn up for this one, including Steve O'Dwyer, who just took over the top spot on the EPT all-time money winner's list with a win in the €10,200 Single-Day High Roller here in Malta just the other day.
Canadian Mike McDonald is now second on that list after he shipped the €25,750 High Roller at the front end of the Malta festival, and although he is still in contention for the Main Event title, should things go awry there, he's expected to turn up here.
Jason Wheeler and Byron Kaverman are both coming off final table appearances in the first two High Roller events as well, so it's a good bet they'll be here joining a host of well known rounders.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand for all the action from start to finish, so keep it locked right here for complete coverage of the EPT12 Malta €10,000 + €300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller.
