While many poker eyes are currently focused on Monte Carlo to take in the current EPT Grand Final, there is also a good bit of focus being applied to the following season. It is understandable that many in the poker community like to look ahead. Some poker players will be keen to find the EPT stop-off that is local to them and others will be keen to find the cheapest travel deals to help them jet off to as many poker tournaments in advance. The earlier you book the more discounts you can receive so it makes sense that you would be keen to know the season schedule as early as possible.
For UK and Irish poker players, it is understandable where most of the focus for the forthcoming EPT season will fall. The second event of the season is scheduled for London and this is the one that plenty of players will dream of getting to. There are plenty of European dates that are within easy reach for UK and Irish poker players but it is perfectly understandable that the London date will be the one that stands out from the rest. The festival of poker will begin on the 2nd of October and it will carry all the way through until the 12th of October. This provides plenty of opportunities to get involved with the event and there will be lots of poker players that take the opportunity to have some fun in the capital of England.
A London leg will be looked forward to
The main event of the London EPT event starts on the 6th of October. There is quite a gap between the English stop-off on the EPT and the remaining stops so there will definitely be a lot of players heading to London to help them to bridge the gap.
The season kicks off in Barcelona in late August, which is definitely a great time to be playing poker. Whether you love the sun or you think it is too warm to be outdoors in the Catalan capital at this time of year, hopefully you will be able to make the most of the poker playing opportunity. The first EPT festival of the season begins on the 28th of August and the event carries on until the 7th of September. The Main Event in Barcelona will begin on September the 1st.
After London, attention swings to Prague but this event is not beginning until the 8th of December. This is the date the festival begins but many players will be more interested to learn about the Main Event date, which begins on the 12th of December.
