While all of the scheduled events look set to attract poker players in droves, it is the €2,000 High Roller and €1,150 Main Event that will capture the imagination of the poker playing public the most.
The €2,000 High Roller is played on Apr. 16 on eight-handed tables. Players sit down with 30,000 chips and play to a 30-minute clock. Some 70 entrants too part in last year’s High Roller and it was Croatia’s Sasa Ikac who emerged victorious to get his hands on €38,330.
