Calum Grant

The final €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em event of PokerStars EPT Prague gets underway today, Tuesday, March 15 at King's Casino Prague at 7 p.m. CET.

As always with EPT High Rollers, a star-studded field is expected to grace the blue felt.

Many of those players will be unfortunate bust outs from the ongoing €10,300 EPT High Roller but this event poses one last opportunity for a host of players to get their hands on an EPT title.

There will be a 30-second shot clock in play from the beginning of the event, with eight extensions granted to each player who registers before the event starts.

Unlimited re-entry is available and registration will close at the start of Day 2, which kicks off on Wednesday, March 16 at 1 p.m. CET.

Today's plan of action is to play ten 30-minute levels and entrants will receive a 100,000 starting stack. Blinds will begin at 500/1,000 with an ante of 1,000.
