Welcome to the PokerStars Festival Sochi High Roller
The PokerStars Festival Sochi 132,000 RUB High Roller gets underway shortly and a bumper field of predominantly Russian players is expected. Tournament officials told us that satellites have been running throughout the festival, and the players cannot wait to get started.
Earlier this year Gleb Tremzin took down the PokerStars Championship Sochi 132,000 RUB High Roller, beating a field of 26 to take home 1,120,000 RUB (~$19,000). Who will follow in his footsteps this time around?
Players will each receive 30,000 chips and are allowed a single re-entry should they need it. They will play 12 levels on Day 1 with registration closing at the end of Level 8.
There will be 15-minute breaks after Level 3 and 9, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 6.
