Welcome to Day 1 of €100,000 EPT Super High Roller
It's been a great start to the 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour presented by Monte-Carlo Casino and the high-rollers were given a chance to ease their way into the festival over the past couple of days. However, now it is time for the largest buy-in of the festival as the €100,000 Super High Roller is set to take place over the next three days, starting today at 12:30 p.m. local time.
Some of the best high-stakes players in the world have made their way to the French Riviera and are ready to put up a six-figure buy-in in a shot at one of the largest prizepools over the course of the week. In the first couple of high-rollers, it was French businessman Jean-Noel Thorel and Brazilian poker pro Yuri Dzivielevski who took down the titles.
Some other players to keep an eye on that are expected to pony up the €100,000 include Sam Greenwood, Nick Petrangelo, Timothy Adams, PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton, along with Ali Imsirovic, Jake Schindler, and Sergi Reixach who will be looking to tell some different storylines than those of the past couple of weeks.
The players will have an extra incentive to be in their seats at the start of play, receiving a 50% refund of the registration fee if they are. Each starting stack will be worth 250,000 chips with the blinds starting at 500/1,000 and a 1,000 big blind ante. The levels will be 60 minutes in length throughout the tournament with a 20-minute break after every two levels. A total of eight levels is on the schedule for Day 1.
Late registration will remain open until the start of Day 2 and players will be given the opportunity of an unlimited number of re-entries within that time frame. Shot clocks will also be in play from the start of the tournament to keep the pace rolling.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be at the Monte Carlo Sporting complex to bring you all of the live updates throughout the tournament en route to crowing a champion.
