European Poker 2008 Tour: The Grand Final Monte Carlo This Week

It is the biggest poker event to take place on the European continent but far - The European Poker 2008 Tour - Known as the EPT series. The biggest and best online poker rooms have launched satellites for their customers to attend the Grand Final in Monte Carlo this April 12 through 18.

The European Poker Tour (EPT) first began in 2004 as part of the worldwide Texas Hold 'em popularity. It is a series of poker tournaments similar to those in the World Poker Tour (WPT) and there all televised.

In seasons 1-3, the most different between the competing poker tours was the buy-in, its effect on the prize pool, with the EPT buy-ins about half the size of the WPT. This changed in season 4 when the buy-In's for most EPT events was increased to €8,000. (Due to increased popularity and lack of space in participating casinos).[1] At 2007 exchange rates, this is approximately equal to the US$10,000 which is the buy-in for most WPT events.

Furthermore, the final table is made up of 8 players not 6, as popularised by the WPT.

The tour was created by John Duthie, he was the winner of the inaugural Poker Million tournament. The show was first hosted by Caroline Flack, then announced in season 3 he was joined by Natalie Pinkham. Kara Scott was Season 4 host.
