European Poker Tour |
Held at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino, the Grosvenor Poker Masters was the second event of the 2005 European Poker Tour, drawing 236 poker players, who were then divided up into two flights of 118. However, it was the final eight that every eye was focused on. |
Begun in 2004, the European Poker Tour (EPT) is another example of the worldwide popularity of Texas Hold ‘Em. Like the World Poker Tour (WPT), the EPT televises a series of poker tournaments. However, the difference between the tours is that the EPT has buy-ins roughly half the size of those in the WPT, which affects the prize pool. |
The Copenhagen EPT, held at the Casino Copenhagen (www.casinocopenhagen.dk) attracted 150 entrants and generated a prize pool of Danish kroner 2,930,832. |
The 2005 Barcelona Open, which served as the launch of the second season of the European Poker Tour (EPT), enjoyed an unanticipated sell-out field of 325. The massive crowd of poker players, many of which hailed from Scandinavian counties, surpassed tournament director Thomas Kremser’s original expectations for the start of the tour. |
Where else would you hold the Copenhagen leg of the European Poker Tour but the Casino Copenhagen? Be ready to be amazed and pampered when you arrive in Denmark for one of the last EPT events before the big finale. |
The European Poker Tour is wrapping up for this season, and the Irish event held at the Regency Hotel in Dublin was a fine example of why the EPT is such a popular event not only in Europe, but around the globe. |
Whether you call it the EPT Deauville, the French Open, or "payday", there is no mistaking there’s a draw to this penultimate stop on the European Poker Tour. |
The second of two new events added to the European Poker Tour this year is the German Open, also know as the EPT Dortmund. Along with the Polish Open in Warsaw, this German event replaces the French Open which was shut down by changes in the political atmosphere in France. |
A new addition to the third season of the popular poker series, the European Poker Tour, is the Polish Open, to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Warsaw, Poland. |
The name is pretty accurate – the Caribbean Poker Adventure plays in the Caribbean, it is a poker tournament, and as anyone who has spent a week in the Caribbean can tell you, it is always an adventure. This year a little something special happened, as the Caribbean became part of Europe - or at least, part of the European Poker Tour. |
