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 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.

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.
