Players taking part in any scheduled PokerStars tournament from October 26 to November 15 will be entered into a daily prize draw for the opportunity to win tournament tickets. More ways to qualify will be announced in the coming weeks.

As with a live EPT event, hosts James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton will be presenting six-days of live cards-up coverage on the PokerStars Twitch channel. PokerStars Ambassadors Fintan Hand, Lex Veldhuis, and Spraggy will also be playing and streaming the Main Event on their Twitch channels, offering viewers an entertaining and unique first-person perspective of what it’s like to play in an EPT Main Event.

“The EPT is one of our most famous and well-loved poker tours and we know the EPT events have become must-plays in poker players’ calendars, not only for the prestige and excitement that comes with winning a tournament of this magnitude but also for the community and comradery of players coming together,” said Managing Director and Commercial Officer of Poker at PokerStars, Severin Rasset. “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.
