Extra, Extra! PokerStars Releases the 2024 EPT Schedule!
Even since 2004, the European Poker Tour – maybe more commonly known as EPT – has been one of the biggest live poker tours. The circuit is since 2011 owned and presented by PokerStars, and the poker entity has improved the tour year after year, all for the sake of bringing the participant players astounding experiences and memories that they’ll never forget.
The 2023 season has thus far not been disappointing. The tour has made stops in Paris, Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Cyprus, and many lucky winners have had the privilege to lift a prestigious EPT trophy. The best part is that it’s not over: the last EPT event of the year will be played in Prague, December 6th-17th.
PokerStars decided not to keep the poker community on edge, and a couple of days ago, they released the full EPT schedule for 2024. Buckle up, poker players: we’re in for a ride!
EPT Schedule 2024
In a scientific-like manor, PokerStars have decided to kick off the EPT 2024 circuit with a “big bang”. In 2023, the EPT made its debut stop at Paris. Not only did it keep up with the expected EPT standard that we’ve grown accustomed with, but PokerStars saw great potential in the French capital becoming a giant actor on the EPT scene. Associate director of live event operations at PokerStars, Cedric Billot, can’t wait for the EPT to kick off the year in Paris:
“After last year’s EPT Paris, we really listened to players’ feedback, and we looked at how to improve the players experience and capacity for this event which has the potential to be one of the largest EPT festivals ever. A new and larger venue, improvements on the registrations, more tables… we hope to welcome as many players as possible in 2024 in Paris!”
The one who wants to secure his or hers participation in EPT Paris already, can head over to PokerStars and participate in either the online satellites or the “Power Path”. Packages including the Buy-In for the €5 300 Main Event and hotel accommodations are waiting for you to get your hands on them!
After Paris, the EPT will take over the Monte Carlo Casino in April. After that, it is time for a legendary event, seeing as the EPT will visit poker players’ favorite location – Barcelona! Ever since the tour’s birth in 2004, it’s been visiting Spain and its capital. It’s been an ongoing success that just has kept improving, and PokerStars will eventually release more details about the celebratory event.
Not only was it Paris that got the honor to welcome the EPT for the first time in 2023. Cyprus also rolled out the red carpet, and they will follow up their debut in 2024. The tables will be arranged neatly at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino & Spa in October.
Last but not least, the 2024 EPT season will end in Prague, just at it will do in 2023.
