EPT Season 6 Six Kicks Off!
With that, the PokerStars.net EPT Kyiv Sports Poker Championship is upon us. The wonderfully cavernous Kyiv Sports Palace is our host venue, and the staff is still hard at work tying up a few loose ends. They'll want everything to be just perfect too; everyone expects this to be the largest tournament ever held in the Ukraine.
Today's Main Event will require a buy-in of €5,000, and the field is tentatively capped at 600 runners. We expect to have a room chock full of pros with a big smattering of online qualifiers in the mix as well. At least 50 players have won their packages online, and those buying in are starting to form a line at the registration desk. Heck, there's still room to come on down if you have an extra €5,000 burning a hole in your pocket.
Play kicks off at twelve noon local time, just less than an hour from now. Sit tight, we'll be back as soon as the cards are in the air.
