EPT Anncounces Season 5 Schedule
The Poker Stars European Poker Tour has announced the dates of their fifth season. The EPT season five looks a lot like season four with similar stops along the way except the Dublin stop has been removed. Since the schedule can still change at any time there is still a chance it could be added back in at a later date.
EPT Chief Executive John Duthie said, "The new EPT season includes all the events which have made the past four seasons such a triumph with record fields across Europe and record prize pools. We have set very high standards and aim to improve on this still further in Season 5."
The EPT is going to be kicking off their fifth season in Spain with the Barcelona Open on September 10th. The tournament will last for 4 days ending on September 14th and it will cost players €8,000 + 250 to enter. Online satellites will be starting next month on Poker Starts with buy ins starting at $2.20 or players can use FFP to enter.
