Poker Tournament Europe Schedule Bracket

In both a first and a last for poker in 2020, the European Poker Tour (EPT) has announced the creation of EPT Online. It is the first poker tournament series the EPT has taken to the internet, making it the last of the three major live tours/series (World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker) to do so.

PokerStars, the sponsor of the European Poker Tour, will host EPT Online November 8-18. Six of the days will be live streamed on PokerStars’ Twitch channel, featuring cards-up coverage and commentary by James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton. Several players, including PokerStars Ambassadors Lex Veldhuis, Ben “Spraggy” Spragg, and Fintan Hand, will also stream their own play.

we wanted to bring the EPT excitement and entertainment back again”

In Monday’s announcement, Severin Rasset, managing director and commercial officer of poker at PokerStars, said: “We wanted to bring the EPT excitement and entertainment back again by recreating the live schedule for our poker community with online tables, ticket giveaways and the opportunity to win EPT trophies.”

Events for all bankrolls

EPT Online will feature 20 events with buy-ins ranging from $215 to $25,000 and total guaranteed prize pools of $20m. Most tournaments cost $5,200 or less. The idea is to mimic a live EPT festival as much as possible. As such, every event winner will also receive an EPT trophy.

The EPT Online Main Event has a $5,200 buy-in and will take place on Sunday, November 15. It is an eight-handed tournament and, as one might expect, the game is No-Limit Hold’em.

PokerStars and the EPT are also giving “low rollers” a shot to enjoy the festivities, running the Mini-EPT directly parallel to the EPT Online. The schedule is exactly the same – all of the events are identical, the dates are the same, and the times are the same. The difference is that the buy-ins are one one-hundredth of the buy-ins for EPT Online. Buy-ins top out at $215 and go all the way down to $2.20.

Poker world is online in 2020

As the world began realizing the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March, live poker tournaments around the world were either postponed or canceled outright. The European Poker Tour, in fact, is the only major tour to have returned to a casino so far. Just a couple weeks ago, EPT Sochi (Russia), which was originally scheduled for March, concluded at Casino Sochi.

Other live tournaments that have resumed, particularly in the United States, have either been regional tours or smaller, daily/weekend tournaments at local casinos. In Las Vegas, some of the poker rooms that opened as soon as casinos got the go-ahead to reopen in early June began running single-table tournaments almost immediately. The Venetian poker room was the first to hold a multi-table tournament in Las Vegas during the pandemic, spreading tourneys June 19 and 20.

The World Series of Poker has moved all of its tournaments, including WSOP Circuit events, online. This summer, it held the 2020 WSOP Online on WSOP.com in Nevada and New Jersey for players in those states, and on GGPoker for international players. The World Poker Tour has also held massive online tournament series on partypoker, both in the United States (New Jersey) and around the world.

The Genting Poker Series is gearing up for the ninth edition of the tour and it is one of the busiest yet with 16 stop confirmed for the 2020 GPS.

Twelve of the 16 scheduled GPS Main Events only cost £225 to enter yet feature a £35,000 guaranteed prize pool. These events tend to perform well and surpass their guarantees. For example, last year’s Reading leg saw Patrick Phelan top a field of 284 to bank £10,595 for his £225 investment.

Likewise, David Leyland walked away with £14,000 after a three-handed deal, in the Liverpool Queen Square leg.

The £500 buy-in £100,000 guaranteed GPS events are also popular, although fans of the tour will be disappointed to learn there are only four such events this year.

Luton hosts the first of this quartet of tournaments, with Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Resorts World Birmingham also scheduled to host a £100,000 guaranteed event.

Top prizes in the £500 GPS Main Events tend to be around the £30,000 mark. Yiannis Liperis banked £31,830 when he won the Resorts World Birmingham leg last year.

All players in GentingBet Poker Series Main Events go into a prize draw where one lucky punter will win a dream holiday worth £10,000.

New Third-Tier Competition

GentingBet approached UK & Ireland PokerNews and informed us that there is a new third-tier competition making its debut at Stoke in February, with further events running at Blackpool, Reading, Sheffield, Westcliff, and Newcastle.

The Super £80 is an £80 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament with a cool £15,000 guaranteed. Four Day 1s run from Wednesday through Saturday with the champion crowned on Sunday. Players start with 25,000 chips and play to a 30-minute blind structure.

2020 Genting Poker Series Schedule

Kevin Proctor, Poker Operations Manager for Genting UK, said: “The GentingBet Poker Series continues to go from strength to strength with thousands of poker players, new and old, taking part in our Main and Mini events all over the country. We committed to providing our customers with the very best in casino experience and we are excited to announce the addition of the Super 80 to our series of events.

“The year we are returning to the South West of England with our events in Plymouth and Torquay. This area of the UK has been without a major poker event for too long and it is great to be able to return.”

GPS Started Back in 2012

Genting Poker Series started life in 2012 and quickly lost its tag of the newcomer to become a popular addition to the British live poker schedule.
Ruslan Vlasov became the inaugural GPS champion when he outlasted 364-opponents at Genting Club Star City, Birmingham. Vlasov netted £18,200 after a five-way deal involving Neil Ryder, David L’Honore, Yucel “Mad Turk” Eminoglou and Don Jones.

The tour appeared to be going from strength-to-strength and Genting began adding some larger buy-in events to the schedule.

Elliott Panyi won the first of these, a £1,600 Main Event at the now-defunct Fox Poker Club in London for £66,900. Richard Milner secured £40,086 from the £880 GPS Grand Final in Sheffield in 2013, with Mark Evans winning £54,060 the following year.

2015 saw a change in tactics from Genting who added a lower buy-in “Mini” Main Event to some legs. We spoke to Genting back then and they said they wanted to inject some fun back into poker.

By the following year, these £225 Mini legs dominated the schedule, probably because Genting decided to pull its online poker offering on the iPoker Network. This meant no online satellites or online Day 1s and, therefore, reduced numbers all round.

Low Buy-in Market is Saturated

The problem with hosting so many £225 buy-in tournaments is this market is saturated in the UK at the moment. The 2020 GPS has 12 of these events while Grosvenor has almost 40 of its popular 25/25 Series events scheduled throughout 2020.

It feels like there is a market for a mid-stakes poker tour. The PokerStars UKIPT would be perfect right now or the resurrection of the DTD Deepstacks and DTD500 events.
