Day 1b of €1,100 Eureka Main Event Begins at 7 PM
The 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague here at Hilton Prague kicked off today with the €1,100 Eureka Main Event. Day 1a, the first of the six starting flights, got underway this afternoon with its turbo counterpart, Day 1b, set to kick off at 7 p.m.
The same event last year drew an impressive 4,017 entries across four different starting flights. With the addition of two more day one flights, it is anticipated this event will round up the EPT’s calendar year with another record-breaking field.
In 2022, it was Pieter Theelen who emerged victorious after defeating Anton Suarez heads-up. Theelen lay claim to the lion's share of the €3,856,320 prize pool, taking home €496,760 for the first-place prize.
