EuroPokerMillion at King’s Resort Shatters Participation Record with 7,303 Entries

The EuroPokerMillion €3Million (EPM) at King’s Resort Rozvadov has drawn a historic 7,303 entries, making it the second-largest live poker tournament ever held at the Czech venue. The €590 buy-in event, powered by euroRounders, attracted 5,143 unique players across multiple starting flights, easily surpassing the €3 million guarantee and building a prize pool of €3,662,454.

The record stands just behind the King’s Million from 2025, which logged 7,558 entries. This year’s EPM came within 255 players of matching that mark, a sign of the room’s continued ability to draw large fields for mid-stakes tournaments.

Record field and prize pool breakdown
The EPM’s 7,303 entries represent the largest field for any euroPokerMillion event to date. The previous attendance record for the series was set in 2025, though the exact number was not specified. The €3 million guarantee was comfortably beaten by more than €662,000, meaning the top prize of €501,200 is significantly higher than the originally advertised first-place payout. The top nine finishers will each earn at least €28,909, with the champion collecting the six-figure sum.

The final day structure reflects the size of the field: blinds began at 25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 big-blind ante, and the average stack stood at roughly 2.5 million chips. The chipleader, Srdan Martonoski of Serbia, bagged 11,250,000 chips, putting him in the pole position for the final table. He is followed by an Italian player using the alias “campionedelmondo” with 8,975,000 chips. Other notable players still in the running include “Flying AAces” (2,930,000), “MagicMan558” (2,815,000), and Wissam Ouertani (500,000).

What this means for King’s Resort and the live poker scene
The EPM record reinforces King’s Resort’s position as Europe’s busiest live poker venue by volume of large-field tournaments. The room has consistently hosted multi-flight events that attract players from across the continent, many of whom travel from Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. The proximity to the German border and the resort’s established reputation for well-run series have made it a reliable destination for mid-stakes players.

For video poker players who also follow live poker, this event offers a data point on the health of the tournament market. The 7,303-entry field suggests that demand for €500–€600 buy-in events remains strong, even as the overall poker economy faces regulatory changes in several European markets. The room’s ability to beat its guarantee by more than 20% indicates that players are willing to travel for well-structured events with transparent prize pools.

Final day coverage and live stream
The final day began at 14:00 local time on July 27, with a live stream scheduled to start at 14:30 featuring a 30-minute delay. The stream is expected to cover the final table play. The payout structure awards 215 positions, with the minimum cash set at €2,450. The bubble burst during the penultimate flight, ensuring that all remaining players are already in the money.

The event’s success also raises questions about whether the EPM can eventually break the King’s Million record. The 255-player gap is small enough that a slight increase in marketing or a discounted satellite structure could push the field past 7,600 in a future edition. For now, the EPM holds the second-largest field in the room’s history.
