All levels last 30 minutes each until a final table is set, from there on out the level duration will increase to 40 minutes each and heads-up play will feature levels of 20 minutes. There is a high probability that the players may decide amongst themselves to continue playing until a winner has been crowned instead of keeping it a two-day tournament.
Registration is open for nine levels and players can re-enter once during that period. For the €25,000 buy-in, the players will receive 1,000,000 in chips which equals 100 big blinds during the first two levels of play today.
Patrik Antoniuswon the first Super High Roller last night and might join the fray again if he doesn’t get an invite to The Big Game in the meanwhile. The German contingent will be attending in full force again to grab that title for Germany. But players like Steve O’Dwyer, Niall Farrell, Albert Daher, Felipe Ramos, Bartlomiej Machon, Timothy Adams, and the partypoker ambassadors Joao Simao and Patrick Leonard will do their utmost best to stop that from happening.
