The PokerStars European Poker Tour has returned to central Europe and one of the most popular stops will unfold at a rather unusual time of the year. Initially slated to kick off in December 2021, the 2022 EPT Prague festival has been rescheduled for March and the first headline event will get underway shortly. The host venue is the same as usual at the Hilton Hotel in Prague, however, it is now owned by Leon Tsoukernik and rebranded to the King's Casino Prague.
One of the High Roller competitions on the schedule is the initial €10,200 No-Limit Hold'em, which will determine a champion on March 6. To spice up the action, Event #1 will contain a bounty portion of €5,000 Bounty while the remaining €5,000 will go to the cash prize pool.
All players receive 100,000 in chips and the levels last 30 minutes each for the entire duration of the tournament. Day 1 will feature a total of 10 levels and two 15-minute breaks with the action getting underway at approximately 7pm local time. The late registration will remain open until the start of Day 2 at 12.30 pm local time to give all last minute additions 20 big blinds.
A 30-second shot clock is in play during the entire tournament and all participants will receive multiple time bank extensions available as well. This tournament allows for one re-entry and thus a maximum of two entries for each player is granted.
The PokerNews team will be providing updates from various marquee events and High Roller competitions, so stay tuned for the return of one of live poker's most well-known festivals.
