The richest live poker tournament series in Europe is back for Season 6, with new venues added and more events than ever before. Satellites are running now in a wide range of buy-ins to suit ALL players, no matter how big your bankroll is. This means that everyone has a shot at winning a seat at the next EPT, becoming the next Champion and taking home a huge payday. Last Season included a total prize pool of more than $60,000,000, and looks set to be even more this time round.
Season 6 will see the EPT return to all of the most popular venues on the circuit - places like London, San Remo, Copenhagen and Barcelona. But this time round we’ve added some new locations to the mix, including Kiev and Vilamoura in Portugal, plus a special Snowfest event in the Austrian mountains. The tour will also once again include a trip to The Bahamas for the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. As ever, Season 6 will finish with the prestigious Grand Final in Monte Carlo - an event with one of the biggest prize pools in poker.
Don’t miss your chance to take part in the EPT - the live tournament series where the biggest names in the game play for millions of dollars at every stop along the way, all played out in the most exciting locations Europe has to offer. This is where fortunes are won and the next stars of poker are born. Make sure you are part of Season 6.
