Welcome to Day 1 of the WSOP Europe Super High Roller which has a buy-in of €25,000. This is the final big event of the series where the players, that are not in the Main Event anymore, have the last chance to win some big money.
The players could see this as a nice way to close their Rozvadov trip out. This is a non-bracelet event but there will be some good prize money that can be won. The expectation is that the players that have played the high roller last week will join the field again today.
The players are starting with 100,000 chips today at 4 p.m. local time with 12 40-minute levels scheduled for today. There is an unlimited amount of entries that can be done and registration will be open until the start of Day 2 which is at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, November 8th.
Please do note that the structure is subject to change by the tournament organization depending on the size of the field. PokerNews will be there from start to end to provide you with all the latest updates.
