The EPT is known for game innovation, variety and we pride ourselves on providing game types in tournament format that you simply don’t find at other live events,” said Neil Johnson, Head of Live Poker Operations for the EPT. Mixed Game and Omaha players will be excited to see a host of new events to whet their appetites including a €1,500 Limit 7 Card Stud Championship, €200 Limit Omaha High/Low Double Board and a €1,000 PLO Reverse Mix Max.
