Welcome to the EPT13 Barcelona Single-Day High Roller
At 10.30 am local time (in about an hour from now), the PokerStars.es European Poker Tour Barcelona festival will see another highlight get underway with the �25,000 + �500 Single-Day High Roller.
The tournament, initially suggested by Bryn Kenney and then quickly adopted into the schedule by the EPT organization, has been quite popular among the pros, as it gives the chance at winning some serious money within one day only.
All participants receive 100,000 in chips and the levels last 30 minutes each. The event is played eight-handed. Furthermore, a single reentry is available and many of the regulars on the High Roller circuit are expected to be back at the tables for more glory.
Defending champion of this very event at the Casino Barcelona is Germany's Martin Finger, who emerged victorious in a 152-entry strong field after defeating Mark Teltscher heads-up last year. Finger took home �865,900 for his efforts and the event had to go an extra day to finish. PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree finished third for �391,000.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to cover all the action, so make sure to tune back in regularly and find out who will lift the High Roller trophy.
