European Poker Tour
Encyclopedia
The Pokerstars European Poker Tour (EPT) is a series of poker
tournaments
similar to those in the World Poker Tour
(WPT), created by John Duthie
, winner of the inaugural Poker Million
tournament. It began in 2004 as part of the worldwide explosion in Texas Hold 'em
popularity. The EPT is sponsored by and part owned by PokerStars
and taped by Sunset + Vine for television broadcast across Europe.
In seasons 1-3, the most significant difference between the competing poker tours was the buy-in and its effect on the prize pool, with the EPT featuring buy-ins about half the size of the WPT. This changed in season 4 when the buy-in for most EPT events was increased to €
8,000. (Due to increased popularity and lack of space in participating casinos). At 2007 exchange rates, this is approximately equal to the US$10,000 which is the buy-in for most WPT events.
Furthermore, the final table is made up of 8 players, as opposed to the 6 player final tables popularised by the WPT.
For the first couple of seasons, Duthie commentated for the show alongside Colin Murray
. Since the middle of Season 3, James Hartigan
has been the lead commentator, with professional players Greg Raymer
, Daniel Negreanu
and Victoria Coren
providing analysis. Hartigan also presents the live webcast
from each event. The TV show was first hosted by Caroline Flack
, then joined by Natalie Pinkham
. Seasons 4 and 5 were hosted by Kara Scott
. The EPT's current host is Michelle Orpe.
