The PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague begins another event shortly, with the €2,200 Eureka High Roller kicking off inside the wonderful Hilton Prague at 12 p.m. CET.

Like the €1,100 Eureka Main Event, another huge turnout is expected with March's record of 1,149 entries in the same event seriously under threat.

The defending champion is Spain's Jose Manuel Gonzalez, who reigned supreme after defeating Pedro Marques in heads-up back in the Spring time. Gonzales claimed the €343,750 first-place prize following a deal and overcame a final table that included the likes of tournament specialists Nicolas Vayssieres and Romain Lewis.
