The European Poker Tour (EPT), sponsored by PokerStars announced its fourth Season from 2007 to 2008, including Bahamas as its new venue. It describes the place as the “most relaxing stop” of the series of poker tournaments. An increase in the buy-ins of the tournament has also been implemented to avoid what took place in the third season, wherein the sell-out attendance nearly reached 3,500, resulting to a grand prize of almost 27 million Euros.
John Duthie, EPT founder stated that they have increased the buy-ins across the board to 8,000 Euros. The decision is based on limited number of people who can be accommodated the EPT venues and the fact that the 10,000 Euro EPT Grand Final - is most expensive event - proved so popular.
Duthie also announced the inclusion of PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) at the Bahamas’ Atlantis Casino Resort in Season 4’s schedule.
The Bahamas is added to the tournament’s full schedule, featuring stops in various European cities including Barcelona, London, Dortmund (Germany), Baden (Austria), Copenhagen, Dublin, Warsaw, Prague, with the EPT Grand Finals to be held in Monte Carlo, yet again.
Season 3 saw not only a large turnout of players, but also formidable poker players from the United States journeying across the Atlantic to participate in the EPT events. In fact, Gavin Griffin, an American, was the one who won the grand prize of 1.8 million Euros in EPT’s Grand Finals.
