Final Table
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After nine 45-minute levels, Day 1 of the €3,000 PLO High Roller at the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship concluded with just 28 players remaining out of the 82 entries. The guaranteed prize pool of €500,000 is a far cry from being met, but with three levels of late registration and unlimited reentries to go on Day 2, as well as a satelite taking place before the start of play, anything remains possible.
Slovakian grinder Oliver Tot is unlikely to be one of the reentries, however, as he topped the counts when the night concluded at King's Resort, bagging 1,411,000, just over seven starting stacks and worth 176 big blinds when play resumes on Day 2. The Polish player raketrap, Sammy Truong from Germany, and Austrian native HoneyBadger all secured a seven-figure stack as well after each player went on a late-night heater, completing the top four in that order.

Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Bastian Bluem both secured a spot in the top ten, looking for back-to-back final tables after finishing fourth and ninth, respectively, in yesterday's €1,500 PLO Championship. That event's winner, Marek Uharcek, also made it through in the High Roller, bagging 349,000 as he eyes his second Royal Scepter of the series.
Jachtmann's fellow bracelet winners Ermanno Di Nicola (563,000) and Sokratis Linaras (243,000) were also among Day 1's survivors. Bouwe Claushuis fired five bullets, but ultimately secured a bag of 352,000. Meanwhile, the likes of Rifat Palevic, Tobias Peters, Mikkel Plum, and Samuel Stranak will have to try again tomorrow, as they were eliminated at various points on Day 1.
Day 2 of the €3,000 PLO High Roller will commence on September 28 at 3 p.m. local time. The blinds will restart at Level 10: 4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 big blind ante, and late registration will close after the completion of Level 12: 6,000/12,000 (12,000). All levels will remain 45 minutes long, with a break scheduled after every three levels. Day 2 is the final day of the tournament, meaning play will continue until a winner is crowned.

Level 9

Sammy Truong checked the 10♥K♦2♥7♠ turn from the big blind, prompting fatlios to announce a pot-sized bet of 118,000. Truong then shoved all in, and fatlios called for roughly 420,000 in total.
fatlios: K♣10♠9♣8♣ 
Sammy Truong: K♠K♥10♦6♥
Truong had a monster with top set and a flush draw. Fatlios had some outs remaining, but his straight draw was left incomplete on the 8♠ river, sending him out during the final minutes of Day 1.
Level 9

Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
HoneyBadger raised his button to 28,000 and called when Maggu three-bet to 88,000 in the big blind. After some thought, Maggu announced a pot-sized bet on the 7♣4♠8♥ flop. HoneyBadger instantly put his opponent all in, and Maggu called off for roughly 300,000.
Maggu: K♠K♦J♣9♣
HoneyBadger: Q♦10♠10♣9♥
Maggu's kings were in the lead, but HoneyBadger hit the nuts on the 6♦ turn. Maggu still had outs, but they did not arrive on the 9♠ river, leaving him empty-handed.
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Harry Casagrande and Tobias Peters had gathered around 550,000 in the pot when they saw the 9♥5♣6♦ flop. Casagrande checked to Peters, who moved all in for roughly 200,000. Casagrande tanked for a bit, then called with the covering stack.
Tobias Peters: J♠9♦7♠4♦
Harry Casagrande: 8♠5♥4♠4♥
Casagrande improved to trips on the 5♠ turn, and he made a flush on the A♥ river to secure another massive pot. Peters, meanwhile, was sent packing in the final level of Day 1.
Level: 9
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
