EUROPEAN POKER TOUR SCHEDULE RELEASED

15 June 2007

Bigger prizes and more venues

The European Poker Tour has released its fourth program, featuring increased buy-ins (and therefore prizes) and an expanded tournament schedule.

Explaining the changes, EPT chief John Duthie said: "The decision was based on the limited number of seats we have to each EPT tournament, and the fact that our Euro 10 000 tournament this spring, EPT Grand Final, proved to be very popular,"

Duthie revealed that the standard buy-in for EPT events will be Euro 8 000 in the coming season, and that the season IV schedule includes two new tournaments and will look like this:
