CASH GAMES

The EPT is running the cash games in Prague for the first time, meaning all players can benefit from the fast-paced action, wealth of experience and high standards provided by EPT dealers.
Games will be running non-stop (24 hours-a-day) during the Festival.
Cash games will be run in Czech Koruna. You can exchange all major currencies in the casino, or purchase chips using your credit/debit card. The commission rate is 2.5%. Cash game wire options are not available at this event.


Last 2 yars we were able to get our euros back at the same rate..... Wont be the same this year?

Hi

If I win EPT seat in live satelite in Hilton hotel can I take the money and not play at EPT Main at all?

And will there be any live satelites to PLO5k?

So will the cash games start Sunday or this Friday/Saturday?

To the guy asking about airport transportation, you can either go by cab (Use AAA, as cabs can be very shady in terms of prices here. Getting a cab off the street you really need to convince them you know better. My gf's mother took a cab 3 blocks and was charged $25 when it should have cost around $6)

or by bus then train (the Hilton is right off a stop on the B - Yellow line, but is also a short walk from a major stop on the A or green line called Mustek. When looking at the map of the metro there is a plane icon above the stops you can transfer to a bus to take to and from the airport)

or straight bus - I haven't taken it but it drops off at a stop not too far from the Hilton. Easily walkable from there but your longest option for time.

Google maps in the last year here has really improved their public transit information to include all of the above ground trams here so shouldnt be a problem. I moved here a year ago and probably ran into a lot of the same problems people visiting would so feel free to PM me with questions about the city etc.

Florence is the stop on the Yellow line (it is also on the Red line).

Mustek is on the Yellow and Green line and is not a short walk from the Hilton.

Thank you for the taxi/transportation information, I'll definitely book a taxi through the concierge (they have prices up on the site now having just checked).

correction: Florenc (no "e" on the end)

Silly maybe naive question - it says on the EPT website that no sports wear is allowed. What does that mean in this context? Kicks, jeans and a hoodie? Two of those are sportswear to me...

For now, I can share that the EPT Prague rooms for satellite qualifiers include both free breakfast and free wifi for multiple devices, valued at 25/EUR a night each (50 EUR per night total), and not included in the standard room rates for online bookings.
just checked in for whole stay covered by eka/ept package and they told me internet isnt included, have had to pay for it to get online tonight. wouldn't have even known any better if i didn't remember this post

yep i played some zoom and now some turbos both on wifi and w ethernet cable. not many people here yet tho, hoping it will be fine for tomorrow anyway if not next sunday cause shop may not be open to buy data stick tomorrow.

it also says in info email for eka and ept that internet is included fwiw, hopefully theyll auto cancel charges for everyone later so no hassle

internet was a disaster today from what it looked like people were all running around with computers, its a huge hassle to get into tourney area because they force you to go through metal detectors every time you enter (WHY?! PLEASE GET RID OF THIS) creates a huge cluster during breaks and cuts into actual break time.

Also, if anybody here wants to fire some decently big OFC, PM me and I'm prob down
