Welcome to Day 1b of €2,200 Eureka High Roller
The PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague continues, with the €2,200 Eureka High Roller Day 1b kicking off at 7 p.m. local time inside the wonderful Hilton Prague.
Day 1a has already attracted near 1,000 entries and Day 1b offers players another chance to make it to Day 2. The previous iteration of the event in March had a record 1,149 entries and this event is almost certainly going to break that record.
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.
