Get Ready for More High Roller Action in Rozvadov
In 90 minutes from now, the next highlight of the 2017 PokerStars Festival Rozvadov will get underway with Day 1 of the €2,200 High Roller kicking off in the poker arena of the King's Casino. Many familiar faces of the festival thus far are expected back in action, unless they are still in the record-breaking €1,100 Main Event.
All participants will receive 30,000 in chips and a total of 14 levels of 40 minutes each are scheduled for Day 1. The registration and unlimited re-entries are available throughout the first eight levels, and a break is scheduled every three hours. A bumper field is expected to follow into the footsteps of a very successful series at the King's Casino.
The first PokerStars Festival High Roller saw 166 players pony up £2,200 at the iconic Hippodrome Casino in London back in January and further 12 participants fired a second bullet. Ultimately it was Joe Johnson who emerged victorious after cutting a deal with Enzo Del Piero, converting a casino promotion package into a payday of £59,912.

Tomovic Takes from Monteforte
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Claudio Monteforte has started well and took a few early pots to increase the stack. Fresh off forcing another fold on a jack-high turn, the Italian opened to 300 and one player caller. Aleksandar Tomovic three-bet to 1,500 on the button and Monteforte as well as the third player called.
On the 
flop, all three players checked. Tomovic then bet the turn when checked to him, and that forced two folds.

A New Table Opens
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Table five has opened to accommodate new entries and the screens currently show 39 players. [Removed:197] and Jonas Lauck are back for more high roller action, and the new table featuresPierre Neuville, Vlado Banicevic, [Removed:170], Jack Hardcastle and Michael Uguccioni.
In one of the first hands, Banicevic bet the 
flop for 400 and was called by Uguccioni before firing another 1,100 on the 
turn. That won the pot without showdown.
One hand later, Uguccioni raised to 300 and was called by Neuville and Banicevic. On the 
flop, Banicevic checked to Uguccioni and the Italian continued for 500. Both opponents called, then got out of the way on the 
turn to another bet worth 1,500 by Uguccioni.
