The European Poker Tour (EPT) is a series of 3️⃣ poker tournaments similar to those in the World Poker Tour (WPT), created by John Duthie, winner of the inaugural Poker 3️⃣ Million tournament. It began in 2004 as part of the worldwide explosion in Texas Hold 'em popularity. Since 2011 the 3️⃣ EPT has been sponsored and wholly owned and controlled by PokerStars the online casino and taped by Sunset + Vine 3️⃣ for television broadcast across Europe.
In seasons 1-3, the most significant difference between the competing poker tours was the buy-in and 3️⃣ its effect on the prize pool, with the EPT featuring buy-ins about half the size of the WPT. This changed 3️⃣ in season 4 when the buy-in for most EPT events was increased to €8,000 (due to increased popularity and lack 3️⃣ of space in participating casinos[1]). At 2007 exchange rates, this is approximately equal to the US$10,000 which is the buy-in 3️⃣ for most WPT events.
Furthermore, the final table is made up of 8 players, as opposed to the 6 player final 3️⃣ tables popularised by the WPT.
