Big Field Expected for Day 1 of the Last Ever €10,300 EPT High Roller
After 13 seasons, the European Poker Tour will rebrand in 2017 and become the PokerStars Championship. As a result, the final €10,300 High Roller Event that kicks off with Day 1 in 60 minutes from now as of 12.30 p.m. local time provides the last chance to engrave the name into poker history and lift the elusive trophy on Monday December 19th.
A big field is expected after yet another record-breaking festival in the Czech Capital and the Hilton Hotel will see many familiar names of the international poker circuit join the action for 10 levels of 60 minutes each. All participants will receive 50,000 in chips and a single re-entry is allowed until the start of Day 2 tomorrow, which will also conclude the end of the registration period.
The EPT13 Prague festival has already hosted four High Roller events: Initially, just the €50,000 Super High Roller and one €25,500 Single-Day High Roller were scheduled, but two identical single-day events with the same structure followed upon request by the players over the last two days.

Bonomo Versus Yachou, Yachou Versus Akenhead
Nível 1
: 100/200, 25 ante
We caught the tail end of a hand between Justin Bonomo and WPT Tournament of Champions winner Farid Yachou. Yachou later told us that Bonomo had opened the action and Yachou had called from the big blind.
Yachou check-raised Bonomo on 
and Bonomo called. The 
on the turn made Yachou bet 2,200 and again Bonomo called. Once the 
came on the river, Yachou checked. Bonomo tossed in a single 5,000-chip and Yachou called. Bonomo showed 
for the backdoor flush and Yachou mucked.
The next hand, action folded to James Akenhead on the button and he opened for 500. Yachou, now in the small blind, three-bet to 1,500 and Akenhead called, once the big blind had folded. Yachou checked on 
and called the 1,500 bet Akenhead made. Yachou checked once more on the 
-turn and saw Akenhead bet 3,000. Yachou check-raised to 8,000 and Akenhead folded right away.
