Welcome To Day 1 of the PokerStars EPT Prague €10,300 EPT High Roller
It's a new day at PokerStars EPT Prague and another high roller event kicks off in the wonderful King's Casino, Prague at 12:30 p.m. CET on Monday, March 14.
There's been some great nosebleed stakes action throughout the festival. The likes of Sam Grafton, Teun Mulder, Andras Nemeth, Rodrigo Selouan and Timothy Adams have picked up EPT High Roller titles so far, and are all expected to take part in this tournament.
The event is a three-day affair and Day 1 will see 10 60-minute levels play out to their completion. There will be 20-minute breaks at the end of every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 6.
There will be a 30-second shot clock in play from the beginning of the event with eight extensions granted to each player who registers before the event starts. One re-entry is available for anybody who is eliminated from the tournament and registration will close at the start of Day 2.
Blinds will begin at 100/200 with an ante of 100 and hour-long levels. The second level of the day will also be 100/200 and will see a big-blind ante come into play at that point and remain a fixture for the duration of the tournament.
Cards will get in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time with players receiving 50,000 in chips to start the day.
The PokerNews team will be on the floor bringing you all the action as it unfolds, so make sure to stick around.
