EPT Prague Retrospective: The City's First Big, Bad €50,000 Super High Roller

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

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.
