EPT -- Poker Stars Releases Full Season Six Schedule

The Chief Executive of the PokerStars European Poker Tour, John Duthie, announced the second half of the season-six schedule for the tour today. There will be six events that take place in 2010 on the EPT schedule after the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, bringing the total number of events for season six up to 13, which is the largest amount the tour has ever offered. The highlight will be the €10,000 no-limit hold’em EPT Grand Final that will take place in Monte Carlo April 25-30. Other 2010 stops will include EPT Deauville, EPT Copenhagen, EPT Germany, and EPT San Remo. There is also an exciting new addition for 2010.

The new event will be held in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria. The event is called EPT Snowfest and it will take place March 21-26 in one of the top skiing destinations in Europe. The skiing is so good that the resort hosted the Alpine Ski World Championships in 1991. PokerStars will run satellites for the €3,500 no-limit hold’em event, and qualifiers will receive a tournament buy-in, accommodations, and a six-day ski package that includes lift passes, skis, boots, and poles.

The second half of the season-six schedule will also feature multiple Festivals of Poker after the great success that EPT London proved to be in October.

“There has been huge enthusiasm for the new EPT schedule and also for the bigger Festivals of Poker, like the one we held in London, and will be holding at the PCA, San Remo, and Monte Carlo events,” said Duthie. “The spectacular success of the EPT London Poker Festival a few weeks ago shows that players really relish the chance to play more side events, with a variety of games and buy-ins. We had huge names entering, and winning, these events, which created massive interest throughout the week. With 730 players, the main event broke the record for the biggest poker tournament ever held in the UK!”
