European Poker Tour

european poker tour The now defunct European Poker Tour (EPT) was sponsored exclusively by PokerStars, which was once the world’s largest online poker site. After starting in 2004, with seven Texas Hold’em No Limit poker tournaments broadcast on television across Europe, the EPT has grown to become Europe’s richest and most popular poker tournament series. The tour now rivals the top events in America and attracts some of the biggest poker names from across the world. The EPT’s star has risen in unison with the rapidly increasing popularity of poker as a game. The first ever event in Barcelona was €1,000 to enter, had 211 players and a total prize pool of just €229,000. By comparison, the EPT Season 3 Grand Final had a buy-in of €10,000, and attracted 706 players, creating a prize pool of €6,600,000. This made it the richest poker tournament ever held outside of Las Vegas. Season 3 of the EPT also saw sell-out €5,000 tournaments in Barcelona, London, Copenhagen, Dortmund and Warsaw.
