Prague in December; you still have the iconic clock, now with a cosy Christmas market in front of it, gl��hwein, and a nice Christmas tree. Oh, and there's a bunch of poker tournaments. The Eureka Poker Tour is one of them, with a record 1,738 players ponying up the buy-in the past two days. But there's something for everyone here, and today's there's something for the Super High Rollers.
