Poker Stars Announces EPT London Schedule

August 12 - Poker Stars is showing that it's business as usual by rolling out the schedule for the London stop of its famous European Poker Tour (EPT).

The online poker site said that the third stop of its EPT in London will feature 31 exciting events spread across eight days of non stop poker action.

The London stop, which is being promoted as the Festival of Poker, will be held from September 29th to October 6th, and promises to be a big event for local players.

The event will be held at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London. The General Manager of the Casino, Martin Ramskill said: "We are all looking forward to another fabulous EPT London in conjunction with the Grosvenor Victoria Casino. As always, we welcome all players to the around-the-clock cash games in the Vic’s poker room. Courtesy cars will run between venues continuously for players' convenience."

Online Poker Satellites

Players will be able to win their way into these events through online satellites at Poker Stars, starting with the £5,250 buy in Main Event, which will run from September 29th, 2011.

Last year's main event saw a field of 848 players racing for the £4.1 million put up by Poker Stars, before David Vamplew, a young student from Scotland, won nearly £900K by beating his opponents to reach the number one spot.

Another event that has poker players excited is the £2,150 buy in Europe Game Championships, as well as a £550 PokerStars Women Live Event (October 2nd).

Liv Boeree will be present at this event and she said: "I’m so excited that the EPT London Festival Of Poker is just around the corner. It will mark a year since I joined Team PokerStars Pro and it was one of the best series of poker tournaments I’ve played in."
