Day 1b of the �2,200 Eureka High Roller Kicks Off at 7 PM
It��s day five of the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague, and Day 1b of the �2,200 Eureka High Roller is set to begin at 7 p.m. local time in the stunning Hilton Prague.
Day 1a is already in full swing, with registration open until 8:55 p.m, but Day 1b gives players a final opportunity to bag and continue to Day 2. A total of 1,534 entries were made in this event last year, a record at the time, and another large field is already building this time around.
Norway��s Sander Ostlyngen came out on top in 2022, beating Slovakia's Stanislav Koleno heads up at the final table to take home a cool �463,850. With less than $30,000 in cashes prior to his win, Ostlyngen came from fourth in chips as the final table began to defeat the likes of Andrew Hulme and David Hu to take home the trophy.

In contrast to Day 1a, the 1b flight is just 20 minute blind levels, so expect much faster-paced action. There are unlimited reentries up until registration closes at approximately 11 p.m. local time. The �2,200 buy-in will give players a starting stack of 30,000 chips.
The flight ends when just 15% of the field is left, at which point all remaining players make the money to bag and tag. They, along with 15% of players who made it from Day 1a, will then come back for Day 2 to compete for the trophy and, of course, a large chunk of the prize pool.
