Shuffle up and Deal for Day 1a of the PokerStars EPT Prague at Noon Local Time
Welcome to Day 1a of the 2021 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague €5,300 Main Event. Things will kick off at noon local time and finally give players a shot again at winning an EPT Main Event title since the last one took place in October 2020.

Other previous winners include Paul Michealis, Salvatore Bonavena, Arnaud Mattern, Roberto Romanello, Martin Finger, Hossein Ensan, and Jasper Meijer van Putten, while Kalidou Sow claimed the one and only PokerStars Championship Prague title.
Players will get 30,000 in chips in their starting stacks and can enter twice max. Ten levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled for today with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 6. The late registration period will close at the start of Day 2.
