PokerStars has dropped the complete 2023 schedule of stops for the Stars-sponsored European Poker Tour, beginning with the first of two new stops for the EPT, at Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile in Paris, France, in February. The EPT will also make its debut at Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino & Spa in Kyrenia, Cyprus with a stop in mid-October.
The complete 2023 EPT schedule will be comprised of five stops, including return visits to Monte Carlo, Barcelona, and Prague. The dates for each stop are as follows:
- EPT Paris – February 15-26, 2023
- EPT Monte Carlo – April 26-May 6, 2023
- EPT Barcelona – August 21-September 3, 2023
- EPT Cyprus – October 11-22, 2023
- EPT Prague – December 6-17, 2023
The three returning EPT events also return to the specific venues that hosted EPT venues in earlier years. Those include, chronologically, the Salle des Etoiles in Monte Carlo, Casino Barcelona, and the Hilton Prague.
