Adams spent an equal amount of time before making the call, and watched as Mercier bet 63,500 on the 
flop. Adams gave it about 30 seconds before folding his hand.

The European Poker Tour kicked off back in 2004, and it took four seasons before the tour found its way to venerable Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic and home to more than 1 million residents.
Back in those days, the "festival" included just four events, a far cry from the current setup. Those thirsting for big buy-in action could do no better than the €5,000 Main Event, but eventually a High Roller was added to the schedule. As high roller events continued to gain steam in the poker community, EPT brass decided to up the ante by adding a €50,000 Super High Roller.
As part of our EPT Prague retrospective series, PokerNews takes a look at the first and only iteration of the Super High Roller in Prague.

turn. Rossitor called, the dealer placed the 
onto the river, and Mateos bet 25,000. Rossiter snap-called, but then mucked when Mateos turned over
