Prague to host biggest European Poker Tour ever

The European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague festival, sponsored by PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. brand, is set to be the biggest live event ever held in Prague.

Joining forces with the Eureka Poker Tour, this year's 12-day Prague poker extravaganza will feature a record 100 tournaments at the Hilton Prague, from 8-19 December 2016. Nearly 350 players have won their way into the €1,100 Eureka Prague Main Event, while more than 160 players have already qualified for the €5,300 EPT Main Event. A wide range of satellites and qualifiers are running daily on PokerStars.com giving players a variety of ways to win their seats into the Main Events.

"EPT Prague always attracts a huge number of players, and with a record number of tournaments on the schedule this season's event is set to be one of the biggest and best live events ever held by the EPT," said Edgar Stuchly, PokerStars' Director of Live Events.

"The large number of tournaments on offer shows our commitment to cater for as many players as possible. We're looking forward to welcoming thousands of players to Prague before our next destination in January, the debut of PokerStars Championship, which takes place in the Bahamas. We'll be back in Europe after that for the PokerStars Festival London stop."
