Edgar Stuchly Becomes New EPT President

Global Poker Tours Limited announced Thursday that Edgar Stuchly has been appointed the new European Poker Tour President. Stuchly will act as an official spokesperson for the EPT, which is now in its eighth season.

Stuchly comes to the EPT from Casinos Austria, where he was Head of Poker for four years. In his time there he managed poker rooms at 12 casinos, as well as the European Poker Championships, and founded the Casinos Austria Poker Tour.

“The EPT is the richest and most prestigious poker tour in Europe, and I’m delighted to be joining a much-loved and well-run live tour,” Stuchly said. “The goal now is to take the EPT to another level, in terms of improving the experience for players and expanding the tour into burgeoning poker markets in Europe. It’s a big challenge but one that I’m relishing."

EPT Chairman and the tour’s original founder, John Duthie, said: “Edgar’s extensive live poker experience and vision for the EPT eased his appointment significantly. I’m sure that players, fans and anyone connected to the EPT will feel the benefits of his leadership over the coming months and years.”
