Welcome to Day 1a of 2018 EPT Prague €5,300 Main Event
The time has come for the crown jewel of 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague: the €5,300 Main Event. Today marks Day 1a — the first of two starting days — of seven straight days of Main Event action.
The EPT's traditional closeout event in the Czech capital has a long and fruitful history, which ended temporarily last year when PokerStars' live operations were rebranded. Past champions of the event include Roberto Romanello, Martin Finger and 2016 winner Jasper Meijer van Putten. Several prize pools over €5 million have been generated.
In the intervening year, Frenchman Kalidou Sow prevailed over Jason Wheeler after a heated heads-up match, topping a field of 855 to win €675,000.
The day's schedule calls for 10 levels of play, each lasting an hour. Players begin with 30,000 in their stacks playing blinds of 100/100 if they sit during Level 1, progressing to 600/1,200 with a 1,200 big blind ante. A dinner break of 75 minutes will be given after Level 6.
Each player is permitted one reentry, so eliminated players may find themselves back in the event.
Cards are scheduled to fly at noon local time here in Prague, so keep an eye on PokerNews for updates throughout the day.
