It's Time For Day 1 of the €10,300 EPT12 Prague High Roller
One of the most popular tournaments on the European Poker Tour commences at 12:30 pm CET today when the €10,000+€300 buy-in no limit Hold'em High Roller Single Re-Entry 8-Handed event takes place.
The Season 11 edition of this exciting tournament saw 233 unique entries and 76 rebuys, pushing the prize pool north of €3,000,000. As you'd expect from such a high buy-in event, some of the world's best poker players turned out for the event including the likes of Dario Sammartino, Nicolas Chouity, and Martin Finger.
Russia's Andrey Zaichenkno is the reigning champion having finished on top after a three-way deal that locked up a cool €487,190. Also part of that deal were second place finisher Laurynas Levinskas (€412,910), and Francois Billard of Canada (€405,260).
Anyone buying into this season's event receives 50,000 tournament chips for their investment and gets to play to hour-long blinds that start at 100/200 with a running ante of 25. Day 1 sees 10 such levels played, with Tuesday's Day 2 also playing 10 levels unless the field is reduced to only eight players before then.
PokerNews' live reporting team will be with you every step of the way so make sure you stay tuned to these very pages as we bring you all of the action, as it happens, from the EPT12 Prague €10,300 High Roller Single Re-Entry 8-Handed spectacular.

"I Hate to Make This Decision So Early in the Game"
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
Those are the words we heard from Simon Deadman as he hit the tank on the river.
There was around 25,000 already in the pot and a board reading 
when Deadman checked and Luc Greenwood bet 17,000 from the button.
Deadman spent a solid two minutes pondering the decision, but ultimately settled on a fold.

Lose One, Win One for Bilic
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
Back in August, Alen Bilic finished 69th in the inaugural EPT Malta Main Event for €18,320. Earlier this season, in October's EPT12 Main Event, he did even better finishing runner-up to Niall Farrell for a career best €440,000. Bilic, who currently sits second on Bosnia & Herzegovina All Time Money List, is in action here in the High Roller and looking for even more EPT success.
In a recent hand, Bilic raised to 600 from the cutoff and Croatia's Ivan Banic called from the big blind to see a 
flop, which they both checked. The 
turn saw Banic check-call a bet of 700 from Bilic, and then both players returned to checking on the 
river. Banic turned over the 
for a paid of eights, and it was good as Bilic mucked.
In the very next hand, Bilic raised to 600 from the hijack and took down the blinds and antes.
