Das € 10.300 High Roller Event der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) im Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile ist eröffnet, 394 Entries wurden an Tag 1 verzeichnet.
Das € 10k EPT High Roller darf natürlich nicht fehlen und 394 Entries konnten sich sehen lassen. Wie immer ist die Late Reg aber auch noch zum Start von Tag 2 offen. Viele bekannte Gesichter, darunter auch viele DACHs, waren mit dabei. Für Christopher Pütz, Sebastian Gähl, Dominik Nitsche, Roland Rokita oder auch Jan-Eric Schwippert und Claas Segebrecht war bald Schluss, auch Thomas Mühlöcker war unter den Bustos.
Zehn Levels galt es zu absolvieren, und das Feld wurde mehr als halbiert. Nur 173 konnten Chips eintüten, die meisten landeten beim Japaner Kazuhiko Yotsushika, der sich mit 433.000 die Führung sicherte. Obwohl viele DACHs das Segel streichen mussten, waren auch viele gut unterwegs. Igor Picone und Mauricio Pais sind unter den Big Stacks, die Positionen der DACHs zum Start von Tag 2:
