It was London, there were a bunch of poker players, some were good, others not so much, they played some poker and some got knocked out. The end.

EPT London: Alien in our midst

EPT London: Phenoms
"You wanna know someone else you should follow?" said our friend Maria Mayrinck, with every indication in her voice that we were going to be told whether we liked it or not. "That guy in the green hoody down there. His name is James Obst, but plays on PokerStars as...more

EPT London: South meets North
The scene looked like a classic film. It smacked of Vito Corleone ambling down the street and inspecting the oranges on the fruit cart. When Humberto Brenes walked in the room, the tables that had been bustling and noisy grew immediately silent. Then, with a quick wave of his hand,...more

EPT London: What are the chances?
Roll a die, flip a coin, hit a button on a random number generator. It's ridiculous how little control you have over the outcome. No matter how many times you do it, your odds don't change. Frankly, this makes us feel better. We rest easy at night because we know...more
EPT London: ElkY Stardust
We could see some flickering in the distance. Were those LEDs on ElkY's shirt? No, he had just caught the light, or maybe the light had caught him? Either way his sparkly t-shirt was ablaze. Or was that his real chest? It's a shine that could solve the energy...more
