Started in 2004 by English visionary and poker player John Duthie, the European Poker Tour has become a mainstay of the industry across two decades of putting on marquee events. Part of the so-called poker triple crown, along with the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, the EPT has put on countless memorable events. It has also served as a launching pad for numerous stars such as Jason Mercier, Mike McDonald, and Liv Boeree.
Though its festivals have moved around over the years, several standbys remain as strong as ever. EPT Prague, EPT Monte Carlo, and EPT Barcelona continue to build on their reputations as Europe’s premier poker tournaments.
