About EPT
The PokerStars European Poker Tour is world's richest and most popular poker tour. Since 2004 the EPT has staged nine hugely successful seasons that have spanned the continent.
Season 10 builds on the success of a decade of world-class live poker events. The schedule again takes in the best destinations around the continent, and features two exciting adjustments. The London stop moves back to an Autumn/Fall spot, while Sanremo returns to a slot in the Spring, right before the Grand Final in nearby Monte-Carlo. Each of the eight events will deliver a true poker festival to the respective locations, with 40+ different poker tournaments and the high standards of production EPT players have come to expect. From Barcelona to Monte-Carlo, and all points in between, EPT 10 will be massive.
Season 9 saw the world’s best poker tour focus on bigger festivals and more events. There were eight stops including the 2013 PCA, and every stop featured more poker, more variety and more buy-in levels. All of the events took place at premium destinations and Season 9 kicked off in style with a massive event in Barcelona that attracted more than 1,000 players to the Main Event, before moving on to Sanremo, Prague, Deauville, London, Berlin and the Grand Final in Monte-Carlo in May 2013. Each stop was unforgettable, and provided the highest level of experience for all players.
Many EPT events are filmed for television and the show is broadcast throughout the world. The final table of Season 7's Grand Final made TV history, being filmed 'as live' with hole cards revealed and shown in simultaneous broadcasts on TV channels across Europe as well as in Russia and Canada.
