The 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague kicked off earlier in what's arguably the biggest month of live poker the industry has ever seen.
Festivities are already underway at the Hilton Prague, with the opening flight of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event currently in session. Now, it's time to get ready for the first five-figure buy-in event of the stop with the €10,200 No-Limit Hold'em kicking off at 7 p.m. local time.
Plan for Day 1
Entrants will receive a 100,000 starting stack and will need to navigate eight 30-minute levels to make it through to Day 2, which plays out on Thursday, December 7, at 12:30 p.m.
Late registration is open for the first ten levels, with the entry period coming to a close around 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. During that time, players can fire as many bullets as they would like, as the tournament permits unlimited reentries.

Looking Ahead to 2024
The Prague stop also marks the final EPT event of the year, but fear not as the schedule for 2024 has already been unveiled.
The 2024 European Poker Tour will host five destinations and sees the return of EPT Paris and EPT Cyprus, much to the delight of the players after making their debuts earlier this year.
EPT Paris is the first stop of the 2024 EPT season. It takes place February 14-25 at a new venue. The stunning Le Palais des Congres has a 120-table capacity, meaning there will be a more extensive schedule for the festival.
