The EPT’s 7th season is about to start!

With the
WSOP largely in the books, the poker world has currently turned its attention to the LAPT’s Florianopolis event but some bigger things are already brewing just over the horizon. The EPT’s 7th season is set to kick off soon, and I suppose I needn’t tell you that the EPT is currently the second biggest and most generous poker tour behind the WSOP.
The 7th season of the
European Poker Tour will feature 13 stops, and although the format has largely remained the same from last season, some minor tweaks have been made to the schedule.
The Tour will no longer kick off in Kyiv. The Ukrainian event wasn’t as popular as the Moscow one it was supposed to replace would’ve been, thus Tallinn will come into the picture in its place this year.
The Portuguese stop in Vilamoura has been brought forward to overlap with the peak of the tourist season, thus possibly increasing its chances to attract more players than last year. The Barcelona stop’s buy-in has been decreased as well with the same goal in mind: to get more players to the green felt.
The Warsaw stop has been replaced with a Vienna one, which means that this season Austria will host 2 of the EPT’s Season 7 stops. Snowfest will be the scene of the other Austrian stop in March 2011.
The Prague stop will be back, together with the PCA. Deauville and Copenhagen will be back too, and Berlin will be the scene of the last stop before the grand finish in San Remo.
Qualifying will be possible this year too through
PokerStars, so sign up now and become one of the online poker players to bring a significant contribution to EPT history.
