€2,200 EPT National High Roller
Day 1a Started
At noon local time today Day 1a of the €2,200 EPT National High Roller gets underway as the players gather to take part in the 2018 PokerStars European Tour Barcelona once again.
This event will mirror the format of the EPT National that began earlier this week, which plays down to its winner from the final six today. 15% of the field will make Day 2 on Monday, August, 27, where a winner will be crowned.
The levels will be set at 40-minutes with breaks coming after every three levels. If a player is unlucky enough to exit the flight they will be able to enter the 7 pm Turbo Day 1b which features 20-minute levels.
