The european poker tour


It is quite surprising to know that the place that gave birth to the pinhole was the venue of the largest poker tournament, the European Poker Tour. The idea of the pinhole was launched in 1997 by an English channel, the idea has spread beyond the Atlantic and became a major poker event, such as Poker Million, the World Series of Poker, and World Poker Tour. The idea has been adapted to European standards by the English production and is hosted by the winner of the WSOP, John Duthie.

Duthie and his production team have created a similar program at the World Poker Tour, making a few differences. Here we will explain the history of the European Poker Tour.

History
The European Poker Tour was launched in 2004 as a direct competitor at the World Poker Tour. To attract many participants in this game, prices correspond to half of those proposed by the World Poker Tour (and of course you can win a seat to the competition playing on PokerStars.com).

The strategy paid well, perhaps too well! The EFA is now able to double the bet!

In Europe, the EPT is broadcast by the channels Sunrise & Vine. It is narrated by its producer John Duthie and Colin Murray. Caroline Flack and Natalie Pinkham are the hostesses of play

Currently, the Tour travels to 10 countries per season. These countries include Denmark, Spain, England, Australia, Ireland, Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Germany, Poland, and Monaco. Absent in France, unlike the WSOP.

Main differences between the European Poker Tour and WPT

As indicated above, both the European Poker Tour World Poker Tour that are similar but have differences. Initially, the differences were primarily at the level of buy-in (cost of participation in the tournament), but today those costs have stabilized. However, there are other distinctions:

    * The European Poker Tour is played in various countries in Europe, where it is known as the EPT, unlike the World Poker Tour, being played at a global level. The WPT is played mainly in the United States, except stage of the tournament.
    * The difference in geographic area vary the number of stars present at the event. The greatest players of the United States presented themselves on the EPT, except the famous Phil Ivey. In general, the American players are always beaten by players from other countries. You decide what the best country to play poker?
    * The final table of the European Poker Tour is played with eight players, while that of WTP is played with six.


The ETP will certainly bring into the world of poker many players, other than professional, since it is a widely distributed throughout the world.
