Today, at 7 p.m. local time, the next Royal Scepter event of the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship kicks off. As hundreds of players are being eliminated from Day 2 of the immensely popular Super Main Event, the €2,000 EPC Masters gives them a chance to reinvest their winnings and still take home one of the ten exclusive trophies.
The €500,000 guaranteed prize pool ensures the top finishers will leave King's Resort with a fat profit for the week, and the 100,000 starting stack means plenty of deep-stacked play is in store.
The EPC Masters is a two-day tournament, with Day 1 playing 12 40-minute levels, the first of which is 500/500 with a 500 big blind ante. Late registration will remain open for the first seven levels, ending with blinds at 2,000/4,000 (4,000), and unlimited reentries are allowed during this period.
All survivors will bag their chips after Level 12 has been completed, returning October 5 at 3 p.m. to burst the bubble and then play down to a winner.
