After the scheduled €25,500 Single-Day High Roller was coming to a close, Steve O'Dwyer asked his fellow high rollers if there was any interest in organizing another edition of the same event the next day. People were interested, and the tournament organization facilitated the event the next day.
The attendance was good for an unscheduled impromptu event, but a lot of the players that might have been interested, were still playing in the Main Event. Some of them asked if it wasn't a better idea to have the event on Friday.
Well, here we are and another €25,500 Single-Day High Roller is in the making. At 2 pm local time (in about 2.5 hours), the third and last €25,500 Single-Day High Roller takes off. After wins for Isaac Haxton and Sam Greenwood, who takes down today's event? PokerNews will, again, be on the floor to provide you with updates from the event.
