Hold 'Em High Rollers Ensemble as Biggest Buy-In of King's Million EPC Begins
With the PLO High Roller done and dusted, the time has come for two-card aficionados to battle for high stakes. The €3,000 EPC High Roller is the largest no-limit hold 'em buy-in available at the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship, and Day 1 of the tournament will kick off at King's Resort in Rozvadov today at 4 p.m. local time.
Like its pot-limit Omaha counterpart, the EPC High Roller features a generous €500,000 guaranteed prize pool, requiring 167 entries to prevent any overlay. The PLO High Roller got close but ultimately recorded 142 entries, after which Israeli native Tsuf Saltsberg walked away with the victory, having made a deal with Oliver Tot heads up.

The €3,000 EPC High Roller will follow the same structure as the PLO High Roller: a two-day tournament where Day 1 will play nine 45-minute levels, starting players off with 200,000 chips, while late registration remains open for three more levels on Day 2. The blinds on Day 1 start at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante. Meanwhile, the last possible moment anyone can hop in is just before Level 13: 10,000/15,000 (15,000).
