The Final Countdown!
In half an hour the final 23 players of the 2014 PokerStars.com EPT Season 11 Prague €10,300 High Roller will set foot in the Hilton for the last time this week. It's the final day of the festival and both the Main Event and the High Roller champions will be crowned today.
It's most likely going to be a long day with still 23 players remaining in the field. EPT Vienna winner Oleksii Khoroshenin is in the lead, closely followed by EPT Player of the Year Ole Schemion. Senh Ung is the shortest stack at the start of the day with 9.3 big blinds, Ari Engel has just slightly more with 10.7 big blinds.
There are only 3 players in the final 23 who are not ranked on the Global Poker Index. And even those three are well rounded, so make no mistake, it's a field full of super stars.
The first level to be played will be 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante. Levels will be again one hour long and play won't stop till the winner cheque worth €606,440 has been handed to a winner.
