ShareNew dates have been announced for the European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague event which was recently cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation in the country. The festival will now run from March 5-16 at the Hilton Hotel Prague.
The ongoing situation in the Czech Republic stoked fears that the event might end up being cancelled rather than postponed, but with matters improving the decision was made to try and run it as soon as possible.
Severin Rasset, Managing Director and Commercial Officer of Poker at PokerStars, said: “I am pleased that we have been able to adapt so quickly to the ever-changing situation and provide our players with new dates for EPT Prague already, as well as some EPT online fun and value in the meantime. A big thanks to our partners at Kings Casino and Hilton Prague for working with us to ensure we found an alternative solution for the event.”
He added that he appreciates the huge demand from the PokerStars community to play in these live events with prestigious titles but safety has to come first. He said that $100,000 from EPT Online will be put by for all the Live Event Staff who were impacted by the postponement.
