The Grand Finals of season 10 of the European Poker Tour are taking place in Monte Carlo until 2 May 2014 but preliminary details of season 11 have been announced, with this summer\u2019s edition of the travelling tournament shuffling up in Barcelona on August 16.<\/p>\n
After kicking things off in Catalonia, the eleventh running of the EPT will travel to London in October before heading to Prague, Deauville and then Monte Carlo in 2015.<\/p>\n
Aside from any special promotions focused on the 100th event in Barcelona, PokerStars.com is also set to implement a number of changes to the upcoming schedule including the addition of a seniors event open to any player over the age of 50. EPT Season 11 will additionally feature an increased number non-hold’em multi-table tournaments, reduced buy-ins for ladies events from \u20ac300 to \u20ac200 and \u2018fun\u2019 events such as Crazy Pineapple competitions.<\/p>\n
Finally, PokerStars.com confirmed that the main event buy-in for the London stop of EPT Season 11 is to be reduced to \u20ac5,000 in order to bring the event in line with its other festivals.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeason 10 has been a tremendous success and we\u2019ve had some great feedback from players who welcome the even greater variety of events at the festivals and the wide range of buy-ins,\u201d said EPT president Edgar Stuchly.<\/p>\n
\u201cPartnering the local tours means our events are more accessible than ever before and we pride ourselves on providing the most professional playing environment available anywhere in the world. We will be building on this formula in season 11 and, as always, constantly striving to enhance the player experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
