A true test of poker skill and endurance is set to begin and end today with the latest PokerStars European Poker Tour Single-Day High Roller starting off at 12:30 p.m. local time in Dublin, Ireland.
With an inflated buy-in and turbo structure designed to end within a single day of play, these Single-Day High Roller events have traditionally drawn some of the best players on the planet willing to play it out until the wee hours of the morning.
The first Single-Day High Roller event of the EPT's 12th season in Barcelona featured a €25,000 + €500 buy in and saw Martin Finger get the best of a 118-entry field to collect an €865,900 first-place prize.
Next up was a €10k Single-Day High Roller in Malta that saw Steve O'Dwyer bank €327,030 after defeating a field of 99. German Rainer Kempe then won the EPT12 Prague €25,000 Single-Day High Roller for €539,000 beating a field of 80 entries.
The EPT's all-time leading money winner, O'Dwyer earned his second single-day high roller title of this season at the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure by winning the $50,000 Single-Day High Roller with 58 unique entries and 22 reentries to capture a $945,495 first-place prize.
Today in Dublin, players will start out with 100,000 in chips and blind levels escalating every 30 minutes. Registration will close at the start of the event's ninth level and players are allowed a single reentry should they go broke within the first eight levels.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand for all the action from the call to shuffle up and deal until a new EPT Single-Day High Roller champion is crowned.

Adams' Hot Start
Level 1
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
A blazing hot start for Canadian Timothy Adams has seen him vault into the early lead.
He recently raised to 3,000 only to see the UK's Charlie Carrel bump it to 11,000. Adams called and the two went heads-up to an 
flop. Both players checked to the 
turn where Carrel led for 13,000. Adams called and when Carrel checked the 
river, Adams took the lead, firing out a 33,000-chip bet.
Carrel made a quick fold allowing Adams to crest the 160,000-chip mark in the early going.

McDonald Stares Down Kisacikoglu
Level 2
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We turned up on the tournament floor to see Canadian Mike McDonald staring down Turk Orpen Kisacikoglu with 31,000 in the middle on an 
board.
Kisacikoglu had bet the river to the tune of 14,500 and after giving him the steely stare, McDonald opted to push all in. After about 45 seconds in the tank, Kisacikoglu pitched his cards in the muck, allowing McDonald to rake in the pot and join the early leaders.

Ung First to Go
Level 2
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Senh Ung has been the first player to be eliminated today. Rainer Kempe, who sat down not too long ago, was the one benefiting.
We missed the hand, but Kempe told us afterwards they had gotten it in before the flop in a cutoff (Ung) versus button (Kempe) situation. Kempe had 
and beat Ung's 
when no kings and aces appeared on the board.
Ung has the option to re enter till the end of the 8th (30-minute) level.
