 European Poker Tour (EPT)Season 4 of the EPT is off to a roaring start with the crowning of our first three champions. The first was EPT Barcelona champ Sander Lylloff, followed by Joseph Mouawad who took the EPT London title and most recently, Julian Thew who won the Baden leg of the tour. All three played some fantastic poker and took home millions in prize money between them. Read all about their victories in the PokerStars Blog. The EPT will soon be making its way to the newest stop on the tour, the EPT Prague. The event is capped at 500 players, so play for your seat through our daily satellites before it fills up.   Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT)The opening event of the first ever APPT was a great success, with 255 players from 30 countries vying for their piece of the $600,000 prize pool, making it the biggest poker event ever staged in the Philippines. The final table lasted for more than eight hours, pushing player strategies, stamina and skills to their extremes. In the end, PokerStars qualifier Brett Parise emerged victorious and proved once again that PokerStars players are a force to be reckoned with. APPT Seoul was equally exciting, and was enjoyed by all who took part. 185 players made their way to South Korea and fought for their share of the $432,729 prize pool, but it was PokerStars qualifier Ziv Bachar (aka ziviland), a real estate agent from Israel, who claimed the title. Read all about the APPT Seoul here. APPT Sydney qualifiers are also underway, so login to your PokerStars game lobby and check the Tourney tab for the next available satellite.
