Just two days ago, Marek Uharcek conquered the first of two major PLO events at the inaugural 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship, earning himself a King's Royal Scepter in the €1,500 PLO Championship. A specialist in four-card poker, Uharcek also took his shot in the second PLO tournament, the €3,000 PLO High Roller, and he is one of 28 players who return to King's Resort at 3 p.m. for Day 2, on which a champion will be crowned.
With 82 entries so far, the €500,000 guaranteed prize pool is less than halfway met. However, three levels of late registration and unlimited reentries remain available on Day 2, and with an enticing overlay looming, a sizable crowd is expected to jump in late, with each new entry receiving a 200,000 starting stack.
Meanwhile, Uharcek will try to navigate the 349,000 he bagged, worth 44 big blinds, to the end of late registration and beyond, hoping to catch up to chipleader Oliver Tot, who crushed the competition on Day 1 and will start Day 2 with a massive 1,411,000.

| 9 | Djordi Holtackers | Belgium | 729,000 | 91 |
| 10 | Bastian Bluem | Germany | 632,000 | 79 |
Uharcek's final PLO Championship finalists Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Bastian Bluem also found their way into the top ten, while PLO regulars Pavel Izotov (561,000) and Bouwe Claushuis (352,000) can be found further down the counts. WSOP Europe bracelet winners Ermanno Di Nicola (563,000) and Sokratis Linaras (243,000) also remain in contention, looking for continued success in Rozvadov.
Day 2 will kick off at Level 10: 4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 big blind ante. Levels will be 45 minutes long throughout the tournament, and late registration will close after the end of Level 12: 6,000/12,000 (12,000), giving players who want to enter at the last possible moment a shot at victory with just 12 big blinds. As this is the final day of the tournament, after late registration has closed, the PLO High Roller will play on until the Royal Scepter has been awarded to the eventual champion.
