PokerStars has unveiled the full schedule for the highly anticipated 18th
season of the European Poker Tour (EPT 😗 2024), which sees the prestigious tour returning
to all of our players’ favourite stops.
After incredible debuts during the 2024 season,
😗 both EPT Paris and EPT Cyprus will return for their sophomore years, fitting perfectly
alongside the fan favourites: Monte Carlo, 😗 Barcelona and Prague.
The EPT 2024 season
kicks off in the French capital in a brand new venue – the stunning 😗 Le Palais des
Congrès, from February 14-25.
Razvan Belea was victorious at EPT Paris 2024, winning
€1.17 million
“After last year’s EPT 😗 Paris, we really listened to players’ feedback,
and we looked at how to improve the players’ experience and capacity for 😗 this event
which has the potential to be one of the largest EPT festivals ever,” said Cedric
Billot, Associate Director 😗 of Live Events Operations.
“A new and larger venue,
improvements on the registrations, more tables… we hope to welcome as many 😗 players as
possible in 2024 in Paris!”
The new spacious venue will see over 120 tournament tables
and a bigger schedule 😗 to accommodate all players.
Players can win their way to Paris —
a fantastic poker city — with online satellites which 😗 will be live from November 21.
This includes a €5,300 buy-in to the EPT Paris Main Event, with eight nights’
😗 accommodation at the event location for the player and their chosen plus one.
There’s
also the chance to win your way 😗 to the France Poker Series (FPS) Paris Main Event,
featuring a €1,100 buy-in and seven nights’ accommodation for the player 😗 and their
guest.
Plus, you can win your way to Paris through the Power Path by winning either a
Gold Pass 😗 (worthR$10,300) or a Silver Pass (worthR$2,500).
The tour then returns to
Monaco and arguably the most beautiful poker room in the 😗 world – the iconic Salle des
Etoiles, located at the Monte-Carlo Casino®️ Sporting Club, part of the Monte Carlo Bay
😗 Resort & Hotel.

The festival will run from 24 April to 04
May 2024.
The EPT has taken 😗 place in Monte Carlo every year since 2005 (except for
2024) and always delivers, both in luxury and lively poker 😗 action. Previous Main Event
winners include Steve O’Dwyer, Adrian Mateos, and the defending champ, Mike Watson.

legend that is Mike 😗 Watson, winning his second EPT title
Just like Paris, players will
be able to play online qualifiers and win full packages 😗 for both the EPT Main Event and
the FPS Monte Carlo Main Event, as well as use Power Path Gold 😗 and Silver Passes to
play.
EPT Barcelona 2024 will mark 20 years of the players’ favourite stop in the
stunning Catalonian 😗 capital at Casino Barcelona from August 26- September 08.
From
Alexander Stevic’s Main Event victory in September 2004 all the way 😗 through to Simon
Wiciak’s seven-figure score last summer, the EPT wouldn’t feel the same without
Barcelona.
With over 20 years of 😗 history, the stop has featured in every single season
and has become one of the most popular on the tour, 😗 even hosting the largest-ever live
poker tournament sponsored by PokerStars – the 2024 EPT Barcelona Estrellas Main Event.
The celebrations 😗 to mark the 20th edition will no doubt be ones to remember, with more
details to be released in 2024.
Make 😗 sure you’re there so you can follow in the
footsteps of other previous champions including John Juanda, Tom Middleton, Sebastian
😗 Malec, and last year‘s champ Giuliano Bendinelli.
Qualifiers will be announced
soon.

PokerStars
players can also mark their calendars with the return of the highly rated EPT Cyprus at
the stunning 😗 Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino & Spa from October 09- 20.
The
all-inclusive resort proved incredibly popular in every way, 😗 from its spacious poker
rooms to complimentary food, drink and fantastic staff service.
