Find your date book and a thick marker. It's time to start crossing some big dates off your calendar. The PokerStars European Poker Tour announced its Season 5 dates this morning and the schedule looks as good as you would expect.
Season 5 of the EPT will, as it has every year, kick off in Barcelona, Spain for the EPT Barcelona Open. You can get your first taste of the new season September 10-14 at Casino Barcelona. Here is the rest of the season.
The folks who put together satellites for these things have sneaked me word that we'll start seeing qualifiers on PokerStars in the first week or so of July. Until then, start booking your vacation days and check out EPT.com for more information.
How about this? Let's just say you have an extra $7.50 sitting in your PokerStars account. Or, better yet, let's say you have 500 Frequnt Player Points and nothing to do with them.
Okay, now, let's just imagine you find your way into an EPT Steps tournament. Now, sure, there's a lot of good things that have to happen for this story to get good. But, let's just say those good things come to pass. The next thing you know, we could be writing about you on the PokerStars Blog...live from Europe.
After the resounding success of the Steps tournaments during the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and Asia Pacific Poker Tour, PokerStars has just launched a new series of Steps tournaments. Winners of these events can work their way up the ladder and make a final decision. Play for EPT Warsaw and a $11,350 entry or play for the $19,250 package to Monte Carlo. Either way, it could turn out to be one huckava return on your investment.
To learn all about how you can make it to two of Europe's biggest poker events for next to nothing, visit the PokerStars EPT Steps tournament page.
Then, we'll see you in Europe.
