The High Rollers Continue Their Battle Today!
The European Poker Tour Malta Poker Festival continues today with the �10,000 High Roller event, and what an event this will be! After a very successful �25,000 High Roller, which was won by Dzmitry Urbanovich who beat a field of 63 entries and collected �572,300, the expectations for this event are very high. As a guideline for what is possible for today's event we've listed the previous �10,000 High Roller events of this EPT season.
| Festival | Winner | First Prize | Entries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barcelona | Ihar Soika | �747,200 | 295 |
| London | Andrew Chen | ��394,200 | 127 |
| Prague | Andrey Zaichenko | �487,190 | 233 |
| PCA | Ilkin Garibli | $1,105,040* | 200 |
| Deauville | Josip SImunic | �309,170 | 102 |
* Denotes a $25,000 buy in
Of the players that won High Roller events this season we've spotted all expect for Zaichenko this week, and the expectation is that all the others will partake today.
The Main Event in Malta was a huge success with 895 players and as there are just 56 remaining in that event we expect all the top pros to enter this event today.
Reigning WSOP Main Event champion Martin Jacobson, third-place finisher Jorryt van Hoof, GPI No 1. Ole Schemion, Big One for One Drop finalist Tobias Reinkemeier and EPT champions Mike McDonald, Ruben Visser, Dimitar Danchev and Martin Finger are among the expected players in today's event.
The �10,000 High Roller is a three-day event that you can follow live exclusively on PokerNews.com. We will bring you all the live coverage all throughout this event.
