In about 90 minutes from now at 1 p.m. local time (CET), the first day of the EPT 11 Deauville €10,300 High Roller kicks off at the Casino Barriere de Deauville. Some of the most well known names on the international poker circuit are expected to battle it out over the course of the next three days. Defending champion is Dominik Panka, who came fresh off taking down the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and followed it up by defeating a field of 96 unique entries and 19 re-entries for a payday of €272,000.

Day 1 of the event is scheduled to play a total of 10 levels of one hour each and all participants will receive 50,000 in chips. Whoever busts can take advantage of a single re-entry and the registration will remain open until 11:45 CET on Friday February 6th. Every two levels there is a regular break of 20 minutes whereas the 75 minute-long dinner break takes place after the end of level six, bagging and tagging should occur around 1 a.m.
