Big Field Expected in €2,200 France Poker Series High Roller
Welcome to Day 5 of the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris at Le Palais des Congres, featuring Day 1a of the €2,200 France Poker Series High Roller.
Amid record-breaking fields in other events at EPT Paris, big numbers are expected for the tournament, which attracted 910 entrants in 2023, generating a €1,700,000 prize pool.
The tournament is a two-day event, with Day 1a due to kick off at 11 a.m. local time. At the time of writing, more than 150 players have already registered, which would suggest 2023 numbers could be surpassed.
Sylvain Loosli made a deep run in the event last year and is registered to take another shot at the title, as are Arnaud Enselme and PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot.
