European Poker Tour Prague: Adamszki, Mulder, and Schemion Win Early High Rollers

The 2023 European Poker Tour Prague festival is currently ongoing at the King’s Casino Prague in the Czech Republic. There are 62 events on offer from Dec. 6-17, including the Eureka Poker Tour Prague main event won by Alexander Tkatschew and the €5,300 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event that kicked off on Tuesday, Dec. 12.

This stop, like all on the EPT in recent years, features a variety of high-roller events throughout the schedule. Several tournaments with five-figure buy-ins have already wrapped up. Below is a look at the results from those high-stakes tournaments.

EPT Prague €10,200 No-Limit Hold’em
