Action Begins Today in the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller at Casino Malta
The PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Malta welcomes some of the biggest names in poker today, October 5, as the €100,000 Super High Roller gets underway at Casino Malta in St. Julian’s. This three-day tournament runs until October 7 and is one of the highlights of the festival, bringing together some of the toughest high-stakes players to fight for a prestigious title.
In past editions, the Super High Roller has created big moments. Most recently, Leon Sturm won the €100,000 Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona 2025. He came out on top of a heads-up battle with David Coleman to take home a career-best score of €1,450,385, showing that patience and perfect timing are needed to succeed at this level.

Players starting today will receive 250,000 in chips. Blinds begin at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante. The plan for Day 1 is to play eight levels of 60 minutes each, with a break after every two levels. From the start, a shot clock will be in play, giving players 15 seconds for decisions, along with six 30-second time banks and one additional time bank added each level.
There is no limit on reentries, and registration stays open until the beginning of Day 2 on October 6 at 12:30 p.m. Once the final table is reached, the format changes, and a set number of hands will be played per level instead of timed levels.
