Registration closed at the start of play on day 2 of the 2014 PokerStars European Poker Tour Vienna €5,300 no-limit hold’em main even. A grand total of 910 players made their way to the beautiful Hofburg Palace for the event, building a €4,413,500 ($6,087,982 USD) prize pool, by far the largest in the event’s history.
The top 135 finishers will make the money in this event, with a min-cash being worth €8,700. While making the money is the first step, of course all of the remaining players will have their eyes on the title and the €816,000 ($1,125,590 USD) first-place prize.
In addition to the money there will also be plenty of points up for grabs in this event in the 2014 Card Player Player of the Year race, sponsored by CarbonPoker. The eventual champion will earn 1,824 POY points, which would currently be enough to catapult a player with no prior POY results in 2014 inside the top ten in the rankings.
The EPT is in the middle of it’s tenth season, but this is only the third time that the tour has hosted a main event in Vienna, Austria. In the first season 297 players made their way to the Austrian capital with Pascal Perrault of France emerging victorious with the title and €185,500. The next EPT Vienna was part of the tour’s seventh season. It attracted 587 entrants, awarding €700,000 to German champion Michael Eiler.
