The poker tournament calendar would not be complete without the presence of PokerStars.com sponsored European Poker Tour (EPT) being present.
The massively popular poker tournament series is considered to be the biggest live poker tournament in the world, boasting the biggest prize pools as well as playing host to some of the biggest names within the poker industry today.
The tournament series is set to move into it's seventh season, building a year upon year increase of both players who enter the tournaments as well as the amount of money that is made available for each and everyone of their many poker tournaments which are hosted throughout the tournament.
Once again the EPT tournament poker series is set to feature 13 poker tournaments during its duration, with yet another debutant style taking centre stage as the series heads to Tallinn, Estonia for its opening tournament with visits to Portugal, Berlin, Austria and many more set to feature in the thirteen tournament series.
Interest in the tournament has grown significantly throughout the years and organisers are hoping that the vast amount of interest in last season's tournament will help to further increase the number of poker hopefuls that will take to the felts to do battle for the huge amounts of money that will be available this season.
To shed a little light on the interest in the main event from last season's season 6, over 9,000 players bought into the tournament, creating a huge 56 million euros prize pool.
Although the tournament is a live participation event, those players who are unable to participate are able to keep up to date with the tournament action after a television deal was done between the organisers and the television companies, meaning that the action is yet again set to be broadcast around the globe.
The tournament is set to ignite the interest in live poker tournament play all over again and PokerStars.com will be hoping that with so many set to watch the action from their homes, that they will be the leading online poker room to capture those viewers who will be looking to get their taste of the thrill of poker.
