The latest €25,000-entry high roller at EPT Prague saw two of the format’s favourites both bag around €400,000 and chop the top prizes as an entertaining event played out at the Hilton in the centre of the Czech capital.

With 66 entries (including 23 re-entries), the single-day format of high rollers was hugely popular among poker’s elite set, and many regulars from events such as this that take place all over the world were again present.

Sam Greenwood took his own seat in the first level and he wasn’t alone, with players such as Adrian Mateos, Daniel Dvoress and the Japanese player Tsugunari Toma all keen to get amongst it from the off.

While many players needed to fire a second bullet, Greenwood wasn’t one of them steadily chipping up throughout the first few hours to see his 100,000 starting stack quadruple.  With the field thinning, registration closed and it was Steve O’Dwyer who had the biggest stack. He would yield it to trim the remaining players even more, with Simon Pedersen seeing his straight lose to O’Dwyer’s flush in just one example of the American-Irish player’s control.
