EPT London Schedule Released
Friday, 14 August 2009
Poker Stars has announced a very busy schedule for EPT London which takes place from 30th September to 7th October.
Highlights of the 16 event schedule include a three-day £20,000 High Roller event, a £2,000 European Eight-game Championship, a £500 Eight-game event, a £1,000 No Limit Hold’em Six Max event, a £2K Pot Limit Omaha event not to mention the £5,000 No Limit Hold’em Main Event.
John Duthie, EPT Chief Executive said “The PokerStars.com EPT London Poker Festival will have a rich mix of games and buy-ins to cater to the most players possible in a compelling schedule - by poker players, for poker players. This continues on the fundamental programming shift made for last season’s EPT Grand Final where we tried to create the best opportunity for all our players, not just higher-rollers, to play a wide mix of poker games and formats at a variety of accessible buy-ins.”
There will be a change of venue this year too with the London Hilton Metropole Hotel hosting the proceedings. A total prize pool of £4m is expected. Qualifiers are running on PokerStars.
