The European Poker Tour (EPT) is the most prestigious poker tournament series on the European continent, organized by PokerStars. Founded in 2004 by John Duthie, the tour rapidly grew into a global phenomenon, hosting stops in iconic locations such as Barcelona, Monte-Carlo, Prague, and London, drawing elite professionals and recreational players alike from across the world.
EPT events are primarily structured around No-Limit Hold'em, with Main Event buy-ins typically set at approximately €5,300. The series is renowned for its massive fields, some of the largest guaranteed prize pools in European poker, and consistently high production standards. Champions such as Liv Boeree, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, and Steve O'Dwyer have cemented the EPT's legacy as the ultimate proving ground for tournament poker talent in Europe and beyond.
