Last 24 Players Battle for €500,000
The Main Event, with a buy-in of €590, will be etched in the series’ chronicles in gold letters. The tournament attracted an incredible 7,303 entries, making it the largest event in EPM history. Although it fell just over 250 entries short of the King's Resort record (7,558 entries), the overwhelming player interest smashed the original €3 million guarantee. The total prize pool soared to an astronomical €3,662,454.
After grueling battles on the third day, lasting into the early hours, only 24 players remain. They are already guaranteed a minimum of €8,200, but all eyes are on the €500,000 top prize, which also includes a prestigious trophy and a €3,000 King's Million package.
Heading into the final day as the chipleader is Italy's Gennaro Proscia, who has amassed a massive stack exceeding 56 million chips. Proscia is no newcomer to Rozvadov, having won the Pirates Poker Treasure tournament in 2024. Trailing him is a German player known as "Bruce Lee" and the first local contender, David Říha.
Local players Ondrej Goetz and "Šachista" are also still in the running, entering the final day side by side in 13th and 14th positions, respectively.
