High Roller Set to Begin
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Season 9 of the European Poker Tour rolls on today at The Vic in London, England with the start of the ￡10,000 High Roller Event. The cards are set to be in the air in an hour or so, and we are anticipating a great field.
During Season 8 of the EPT, Team Germany crushed the High Roller. Philipp Gruissem (￡450,200) bested his friend Igor Kurganov (￡318,300) heads up. Joining them at the final table were notables Olivier Busquet (4th for ￡171,200) and Sam Trickett (7th for ￡68,800). We expect all four of these players to be in the field today.
With the elimination of Jason Mercier over in the EPT London Main Event, he will probably hop into this exclusive event as well. The Team PokerStars Pro won a ￡20,000 High Roller here in London back in 2008, besting John Juanda heads up to earn ￡516,000.
The cards will be in the air in roughly 45 minutes, and once we know the schedule for the day we wil pass it along. Be sure to stay tuned for all of your up-to-the-minute updates straight from the floor!
