In 2010 the European Poker Tour debuted a high roller during the EPT Prague festival. Nichlas Mattsson came out on top of a 26 player field. Every year since the tournament has grown, and this year promises to be bigger than ever.

The Super High Roller at the start of the tournament saw 42 people enter and 9 players re enter for €50,000 each. Leonid Markin defeated Paul Newey heads up to grab the title and the €777,360 first place prize. This "regular" high roller will only be bigger! Let's take a look at the fields and winners since its inception in 2010:
