The EPT Concludes its 2018 Season in Prague on Dec. 7-18
As has been tradition throughout European Poker Tour (EPT) history, the tour will end its 2018 season in the Czech capital of Prague at the Casino Atrium in the Hilton on Dec. 7-18.
Combined with the EPT National, the festival features 43 action-packed events and will feature some of the biggest names in poker.
The highlight of the festival is the EPT Prague €5,300 Main Event on Dec. 12-18. The tournament is a deep-stacked affair with players starting off the two opening flights on Dec. 12-13 with 30,000 in chips and blinds increasing every hour. In addition, players are allowed one reentry if they lose all of their chips.
Players who bag chips will enjoy a deeper structure of 90-minute blind levels until play is down to three-handed at which time the blind levels are cut in half to 45 minutes in length. In addition, after players are in the money, the event will feature a 30-second clock. Players needing additional time to make a decision will be able to use time bank cards.
Kalidou Sow won the Main Event last year for €675,000 when the tournament was temporarily branded as the PokerStars Championship Prague €5,300 Main Event after beating out American poker pro Jason Wheeler in heads-up play.
