Who Will Reach the Final Table in the EPT Online 10: $25,000 Super High Roller?
The most-expensive buy-in on the schedule of the 2020 PokerStars European Poker Tour Online will get underway at 1.05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and some of the biggest names in the world of poker are expected to enter the fray in EPT Online 10: $25,000 NLHE [8-Max, Super High Roller].
With a five-figure price tag, the event features a guaranteed prize pool of $2,000,000 and a slow structure, consisting of 18 levels of 20 minutes each and a level duration of 30 minutes each thereafter. All players start with 250,000 in chips, which are worth more than 100 big blinds in the first level, which kicks off with blinds of 1,200/2,400 and a running ante of 300.
The late registration for the event is available for the first five hours and five minutes, during which all participants are allowed up to two re-entries in order to take another shot at the seven-figure prize pool. Once the registration has closed, the race to the money starts and Day 1 is slated to play down to the nine-handed final table.
Tomorrow's final table will then be streamed with cards-up coverage and commentary on a delay of 30 minutes on the PokerStars YouTube and Twitch channels and the PokerNews live reporting team will provide all the updates from start to finish.

Charity Efforts and a Spin & Go Qualifier
Level 1
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Among the first eight players registered for the event more than 90 minutes prior to the start were PokerStars ambassador Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis and the UK's Jamie "jamienixon90" Nixon, alongside a host of High Roller regulars to whom this event is just one of many big buy-ins throughout the year.
Nixon qualified through a $75 Spin & Go in which the random top prize of the winner-takes-all jackpot SNG was an entry into this very event. Players also had the chance during the World Championship of Online Poker to win seats for similar high stakes tournaments.
As far as Veldhuis is concerned, the Dutchman returns to online poker after a break with charity streams and will be raising money for the Lewis Body Dementia, the illness his father suffered from. All cashes in this event will be donated to charity and PokerStars will also contribute all rake generated in tomorrow's $215 Mini EPT Online Super High Roller for the same cause as well.
