EPT
The European Poker Tour is a series of high profile televised tournaments held throughout Europe. Now at the start of its fourth season, the EPT attracts some of the top players from Europe and beyond.
The buy-in to each Leg of Season 4 is around €7,700 + €300 (approximately £5200 + £200). Leg 1 in Barcelona this August attracted a total of 543 players, generating a total prize pool of €4,181,100 and top prize of €1,170,700 which was won by former chess champion Sander Lylloff, 25, from Copenhagen, Denmark.
This season the tour also visits London (September), Baden (October), Dublin (November), rather strangely for a European Tour it then travels to the Bahamas (January) before returning for further legs in Prague (date tbc), Dortmund (February), Copenhagen (February), Warsaw (March) and a Grand Final in Monaco (April).

History
Season 1 of the EPT (2004-05) included 6 legs and a Grand Final. Two UK players won a leg – John Shipley won the London EPT and Ram Vaswani won the following leg in Dublin. The Grand Final winner was the Dutch player Rob Hollink who collected €635,000 for his efforts.
Season 2 (2005-06) brought another 6 legs and Grand Final. The London leg of Season 2 was once again won by a UK player – Mark Teltscher, although the season was dominated by Scandinavian players until the Grand Final which was won by American Jeff Williams who took home a hefty €900,000.
Season 3 (2006-07) was extended to 7 legs plus the Grand Final and once again home field advantage worked for UK players as the London leg was won by Vicky Coren, whilst Roland de Wolfe didn’t have too far to travel when winning in Dublin. Yet again an American flew in to win the Grand Final – with Gavin Griffin picking up a massive €1,825,010.
