Not only are some players celebrating this special holiday but three big events resume action at Noon today including Day 3 of the Main Event, the final day of the €3,000 High Roller, and the second and final day of the €550 JP Masters.
The record-breaking 566-entry-strong field is down to just 36 hopefuls led by Lithuania’s Saulius Tumosa with 1,160,000 with Ireland’s Terence Ponsonby and Sebastian Bader also kicking off the action as chip millionaires.
