PokerStars announces additions to live event schedule

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Following on from the successful EPT Prague, PokerStars has today announced new additions to its live events schedule for 2022/23, including well-loved EPT stops, more regional events and highly anticipated details of the second PokerStars Players No Limit Hold'em Championship.

EPT HEADS TO BARCELONA AND PRAGUE

The European Poker Tour will head to Barcelona and Prague again this year for two player favourite events. PokerStars players can mark their calendar this August and December for two of PokerStars' most popular live events.

EPT Barcelona will run from 8-21 August, at the Casino de Barcelona. The event will have plenty of tournaments for players to choose from including the €1,100 buy-in ESPT event and €5,300 buy-in Main Event.

EPT Prague will run from 7-18 December at King's Casino Prague. More details on this event can be found at PokerStars Live.

As usual, players will be able to win their way to the events for much less with satellites running for free or as little as €1.10. Players should keep an eye out on PokerStars for when these will start.

EVEN MORE REGIONAL TOURS

PokerStars are also able to share details on additional regional tours running this year. PokerStars UKIPT will return to Dublin after six years from 16-22 May at the Bonnington Hotel with satellites starting today from as little as €1.10.

Also, for the first time PokerStars will sponsor a Summer Poker Festival running from 18-26 June in Malta, with the Main Event a joint UKIPT and ESPT event. Players will be able to satellite into the festival, with more details available on PokerStars Live.

THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR: POKERSTARS PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP ALONGSIDE AN OLD FRIEND

Following on from a busy 2022 schedule, PokerStars will return to The Bahamas to brighten up January in 2023. Players can finally get excited for a world class event like no other, the PokerStars Players Championship, which will take place from 30 January to 3 February during a special edition of the popular PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA), running from 22 January to 3 February.
