The next Royal Scepter is set to be handed out tonight at the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship, as 44 players return to battle for the €1,500 PLO Championship.
The tournament drew 286 entries across two starting flights, with all survivors earning a piece of the €500,000 prize pool. Action will resume at 2:00 p.m. local time and finish under the bright lights of the feature table at King's Resort.
Sitting near the top of the counts after the opening flights is two-time WSOP bracelet winner Tobias Peters, who led Day 1a with 850,000 chips to sit second on the overall leaderboard. Peters is coming of a cash in the €400 Deepstack event this week, looking for another deep run into the money.
