Dominik Nitsche, who just won his 4th WSOP bracelet two days ago, as well as Martin Jacobson entered to bump the field to 10 entries and the clocks were paused to open a second table via manual seat draw.
"I have to be friendly," Martin Kabrhel said after he had just limped in from the small blind and Ali Reza Fatehi checked his option from one seat over in the big blind. The flop fell and Kabrhel bet 600, Fatehi folded. Kabrhel flashed the for second pair and Fatehi smiled, then replied "that's too much for me."
The players and tournament organization have agreed to change the structure for today to make this a 1-day tournament.
The levels will be 30 minutes each. They will still start with 100,000 chips but the first level of play will be Level 3 with a small blind of 300, big blind of 600 and a running ante of 100. Late registration is possible for the first 8 levels of play with 1 reentry per player. And there will be a 20-minute break after every four levels.
The tournament will commence soon, we will there from the start for all the action.
Check out this interview with Dominik Nitsche leading up to the start of the event.
Welcome to Day 1 of the WSOP Europe Super High Roller which has a buy-in of €25,000. This is the final big event of the series where the players, that are not in the Main Event anymore, have the last chance to win some big money.
The players could see this as a nice way to close their Rozvadov trip out. This is a non-bracelet event but there will be some good prize money that can be won. The expectation is that the players that have played the high roller last week will join the field again today.
The players are starting with 100,000 chips today at 4 p.m. local time with 12 40-minute levels scheduled for today. There is an unlimited amount of entries that can be done and registration will be open until the start of Day 2 which is at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, November 8th.
Please do note that the structure is subject to change by the tournament organization depending on the size of the field. PokerNews will be there from start to end to provide you with all the latest updates.
