Once again this year, the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) is wrapping up the season at King’s/Hilton Prague. From December 2 through 13, poker will be in full swing in the Czech capital—once again featuring a €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event and a €5,300 EPT Main Event.
Prague is one of the EPT’s most popular stops and consistently draws record-breaking numbers. Last year, PokerStars raised the buy-in to €1,650 for the newly created PokerStars Open when the event took place as part of an EPT stop; only the stand-alone events remained at €1,100. However, the decline in attendance and the unexpected high rollers in Prague have created room to reverse the price increase, so the PokerStars Open Main Event in Prague will once again feature a €1,100 buy-in. The PokerStars Open High Roller will also be more affordable again at €2,200.
The EPT Prague definitely has fewer options for NLH high rollers, while PLO high rollers, on the other hand, have more choices. Competing events will draw many of the big players to the Caribbean or Las Vegas, so it makes more sense to focus on the large field of players in Prague. And since Prague is always great during the pre-Christmas season, players are sure to embrace it.
