There’s a new EPT in town. PokerStars is host and sponsor to many a poker tour, including the European Poker Tour (EPT). And now a new one bearing the same initials joins the list, the Eureka Poker Tour, catering to players from Central Europe and Eastern Europe. Currently the Eureka Poker Tour is scheduled to make stops in Bucharest, Gorica, Nova, Prague, Varna and Zagreb, and Poker Stars is hosting satellites leading up and into each one of them.
The latest set of satellites are for the Eureka Poker Tour Golden Sands, Varna. You can play for one of three different kinds of prize packages: a seat in the tournament plus hotel and expenses (worth €1,400), a seat in the tournament plus expenses, and just a seat in the tournament.
The Eureka Poker Tour Golden Sands takes place June 23 – 26 in Varna, Bulgaria and has a direct buy-in of €800. Satellite opportunities to win free seats in this event include freerolls and VIP satellites. Direct buy-ins into these satellites range from €6.60 to €162.
Freerolls run through June 17 while €1.10 satellite qualifiers run through June 18. The VIP satellites include €3.30 SilverStar and €11 GoldStar events and there are FPP VIP satellite routes as well.
The culmination of the Poker Stars Eureka Poker Tour season, by the way, happens to be the same as the European Poker Tour Prague Main Event, taking place in the Czech Republic from December 5 – 10 for a €5,300 direct buy-in.
