European Poker Tour(EPT) Information, History

In 2004, in response to the growing popularity of Texas Hold’em, The European Poker Tour (also known as EPT) was created. The EPT is the largest annual European poker tournament which consists of series of broadcasted poker tournaments and is very similar to WPT (World Poker Tour). The EPT is now in its sixth season with twelve tournaments this season alone. The tournaments are held all over Europe including Kyiv, Barcelona, London, Warsaw and Prague.

The EPT is smaller the World Poker Tour (WPT), but due to increased popularity of the tournament and lack of space in sponsoring casinos, the buy-ins had to be increased to $10,000 which is equal to those of the WPT. Another significant difference between the two Tours is that EPT’s final table is made up of eight players, while WPT allows just six final table players.

The European Poker Tour is sponsored by PokerStars.
