The growth of the European Poker Tour has been further strengthened
with the announcement of a new Series 3 event to be staged in Dortmund,
Germany from 8-11 March, 2007.
Capped at 400 players, the four-day, the Euro 5 000 buy-in no-limit
Texas Hold’em tournament at Hohensyburg Casino in Dortmund will
be part of the PokerStars.com-sponsored, televised EPT TV series.
EPT director John Duthie has been planning an EPT event in Germany
for several months.
"There are not that many venues in Germany with the space
and facilities required to host an EPT tournament, but Casino Hohensyberg
in Dortmund is an outstanding casino and comfortably meets the high
standards required," says Duthie. "Poker players
will be pleased to hear that there will be a full schedule of tournament
activities alongside the main event, and cash games will also be available."
Players can qualify for the Dortmund EPT on PokerStars.com from January
1st next year.
