PokerStars has reshuffled its hand after the cancellation of the European Poker Tour Paris and rumors surrounding EPT Prague’s future.
This week they went all-in on positive news by announcing the launch of the PokerStars Open, which will kick off in 2025 across six European stops. The PokerStars Open replaces a number of popular tours, including the UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT), Eureka Poker Tour, Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT), and France Poker Series (FPS).
The 2025 PokerStars Open features six stops in total, with three brand-new locations. The schedule also includes the 45th-annual Irish Open. PokerStars Open main events will also be held at EPT Monte Carlo and EPT Barcelona, the only two EPT stops announced thus far for 2025.
The feature tournament of each series will be a €1,100/£1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event with €1M/£1M guaranteed. Each stop is also expected to offer a large tournament schedule which will surely attract players from all over the world.
“PokerStars is delighted to bring a series of new events to the European poker calendar,” said Cédric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars.
“Our PokerStars Open stops are going to provide players with incredible experiences, with each location having its own unique feel that will come together as a European series that both ladders up to the EPT and stand up in their own right. We know that players enjoy traveling to other countries for tournaments so we’ve decided to make the move to the PokerStars Open as it gives us a lot more flexibility to throw million-guaranteed events anywhere in Europe, not just where we have established national tours.”
