European Poker Tour logo

The European Poker Tour , or EPT for short , is a series of poker tournaments hosted by PokerStars . Along with the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, it is one of the most important poker events worldwide and started in 2004 as part of the worldwide explosion in popularity of Texas Hold'em . In 2017 it was not played and instead the PokerStars Championship was played.

history

Founder John Duthie

The European Poker Tour was launched in 2004 by TV producer and poker player John Duthie . The most important difference to the competing poker tournaments World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker was the buy-in and its effect on the prize pool, with the buy-ins of the EPT being half the size of those of the WPT. The resulting effect was that the EPT had less “star power” and lower prize pools. Nevertheless, the winners of the first two EPT events received prize money in the region of 100,000 euros , lucrative enough to attract the attention of many top players. The EPT is sponsored by the online platform PokerStars and was temporarily broadcast in Germany by the television channel Eurosport . The parent company TF1 from France decided in May 2007 to cancel all poker broadcasts and to bow to the French government.

The final of the third season in Monte-Carlo , in which the American Gavin Griffin won, reached a new record with over 700 players and was the tournament with the highest endowment outside the USA to date. A large number of well-known professionals from all over the world took part in the tournament. For the fourth season 2007/08, the buy-ins and the number of participants increased, so that by now all the stars had come to the EPT. Superstars like Phil Ivey , Joe Hachem , Marcel Lüske , Ram Vaswani , Patrik Antonius or Andy Black sat at various final tables. In 2008, the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas was the EPT's first tournament to take place outside of Europe. In 2010, the EPT in the Hyatt Hotel in Berlin was attacked by several armed robbers who were caught by the police a few days later. The mastermind behind the attack was a member of the Berlin Abou Chaker clan .

Logo until 2016

EPT Prague in December 2016 should be the last event on the European Poker Tour . In 2017, the tournaments hosted by PokerStars took place under the names PokerStars Championship and PokerStars Festival in locations such as Barcelona , Monte-Carlo , Macau and Panama . In mid-December 2017 it was announced that the PokerStars Championship will be played again under the name European Poker Tour from 2018 . In the course of this return, the logo was slightly changed.

The main event of the European Poker Tour will be broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch in several languages. In German it is usually spoken by Jens Knossalla and Martin Pott together with changing guests such as u. a. Benjamin Rolle , comments.

In 2021, the EPT in Barcelona will host the PokerStars Players Championship for the second time with a buy-in of 22,500 euros .

Event overview

For a better comparison, the award is always converted into US dollars . At the main event, the buy-in is around 5000 euros .
