European Poker Tour Satellites Begin

If you've noticed it's been a little quiet around here for the past few days, you should know that there's a good reason for it. We've been working hard behind the scenes to launch the second season of the most exciting and fun poker event in Europe.

Today begins the second season of the European Poker Tour. With stops from Barcelona to Monte Carlo, the EPT will once again rage across the European landscape.

European Poker Tour Schedule

BARCELONA Sept. 16-17
LONDON Sept. 30 - Oct.2
BADEN Oct. 4-6
DUBLIN Oct. 29-30
COPENHAGEN Jan. 25-28
DEAUVILLE Feb. 8-11
MONTE CARLO March 8-11

Satellites for next month's event in Barcelona are already available in the PokerStars tournament lobby. Just click on "Events" and "EPT" in your tournament lobby for the chance to win your seat for as little as $5.50. For more, head over to the PokerStars EPT page.

You can learn all you need to know about the EPT by clicking on the official site of the tour.

It's only been a few months since I finished off the tour in Monte Carlo and I'm already ready to be back in some of Europe's most historic cities. Once again, I'll follow the tour from country to country and provide all the news that's fit to print (and, likely, some that is not). Last season, I chronicled all the events for PokerStars and the EPT on this other site. This season, all of the EPT news will be found right here on the PokerStars.com Official Blog.
