European Poker Tour, otherwise known as the EPT, fans will be please to know that the Season 9 schedule has been released. EPT sponsor PokerStars released this info on Wednesday.
The new schedule will feature a greater variety of games as well as more online qualification opportunities, so get excited.
EPT President Edgar Stuchly says, “EPT Season 9 will bring a new level of innovation to our tour and will enhance the experience for all players.”
EPT Season 9 will have more chances to qualify online than ever before. A larger number of online qualifiers will be available and will accommodate more players across a larger variety of bankroll levels. In addition, qualifying periods for individual events will be extended, as well as the introduction to new and more exciting qualifying formats for potential qualifying players, making for a more fun ride to the top.
