Get to the EPT with PokerStars.com
Mar 20, 2009By: G.L. Hodges One of the most important tournament series of the year is ready to roll – the PokerStars.com EPT!
The European Poker Tour is on all serious poker players list of tournaments they must attend. The action, huge prize pools and exotic locales all blend to make the EPT the most popular series happening today and season 5 is here!
The EPT Season 5 has been held in some of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with players winning millions of dollars in these events but sadly the end is near. The Grand Final will be the EPT Monte Carlo held on April 27th and YOU can be there thanks to PokerStars!
At the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo last year, a record 842 entrants swelled the prize pool to a massive €8.4 million, making Europe’s richest poker tournament. This year the EPT Monte Carlo promises to be bigger and better with several new side events on the schedule, like the European Pot Limit Omaha Championship, the European High Roller Championship and the daily Battleship tournaments, giving players even more chances to win big! Plus this year will see the debut of the two day EPT Monte Carlo Poker Camp, where even seasoned players can hone their skills.
The final chapter of the EPT will take off in Monte Carlo on April 27th, and PokerStars is giving players like you the chance to win your seat cheap! EPT satellites are running now and you can win an $18,800 prize package! These huge prize packages will include your EPT Grand Final seat buy-in, $1, 0000 in spending money and luxury hotel accommodation. And one of these prize packages can be yours - for as little as $2.22 or only 111 FPP (Frequent Player Points)! Plus qualifiers are also running to win a European Pot Limit Omaha Championship event prize package worth $8,570!
Then if all that wasn’t enough, PokerStars is also holding satellite qualifiers to the next to last EPT event, the EPT San Remo! Be there when this event kicks off in Italy on April 18th through the 23rd and you could walk away a big winner like Jason Mercier did last year! Jason qualified on PokerStars and turned his satellite qualifier win into a first place victory worth €869,000! These EPT San Remo satellite qualifiers also have cheap buy-ins and start at just $2.22 or only 111 FPPs.
Of course if you miss winning a qualifier, you can buy-in directly to side events online through your PokerStars account starting April 20th! This option will be available up until 3 hours before the event starts, so you can buy-in on PokerStars then hop over to Monta Carlo and San Remo to grab your seat!
To find all the satellite qualifiers available, log into PokerStars and head to the lobby. Then just look under the Events, then EPT tab, and grab your EPT seat, but hurry - time is wasting and the end of the EPT season is near!
