The online 3D poker room PKR announced a few months ago that they would be hosting a live tournament series in Cannes, France, in October. As the tournament is getting closer and closer, the schedule has had some changes to implement some tournaments that the players specifically requested to have.
One of those tournaments is a High Roller tournament, which doesn’t have as big a buy-in as one might think, as the buy-in is €900. It is more than double of the main event buy-in however, so for the tournament series it is definitely a high roller tournament. The tournament was added for some of the bigger players to have a reason to play the series, besides the main event.
The PKR Live Cannes starts on the 23rd of October, where the main event day 1A starts and continues until October 26th, where the final day of the high roller is being played. There’s a few side events and satellites in between the two big events, as well as cash games running to ensure that players have something to do always.
PKR is expecting a prize pool of around €100,000 for the main event, as the local Barriere will be sending a lot of players for Day 1A, while PKR will send a lot of players for Day 1B who qualified online through satellites. Below you can see the complete tournament schedule for PKR Live Cannes Below:
