PokerStars Presents 2nd European Poker Tour

The European Poker Tour, sponsored by PokerStars, is about to take its second season on the road and you can be a part of the magnificent adventure.

Last year, the EPT was an experiment that turned into the greatest thing in European poker, drawing players from all over the world and turning some of them into instant stars. Now, you have your chance to visit some of the most historic, exotic locales in Europe and compete for some of the biggest prize pools in European history.

This year, the EPT is upping the ante and doubling the buy-ins for the preliminary events from 2,000 euro to 4,000 euro. That means the prize pools will be even bigger and give satellite winners even more in return for their efforts.

The EPT also promises to be a major television event. Last year, the EPT taped only the final table of most events. This year, however, the EPT is introducing televised show tables which will provide more in-depth coverage of the poker action.

The EPT Grand Final will be held in the luxurious city of Monte Carlo, Monaco. Last year, Holland's Rob Hollink won 650,000 euro in the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final.

The European Poker Tour Schedule:

Casino de Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain) - Sept. 16-17, 4,000 euro (buy-in)
Victoria Casino (London, England) - Sept. 30 - Oct.2 , £3,000
Grand Casino Baden (Baden, Austria) - Oct. 4-6, 4,000 euro
Merrion Casino Club (Dublin, Ireland) - Oct. 29-30, 4,000 euro
Casino Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark) - Jan. 25-28, 30,000 kr
Casino Barrière de Deauville (Deauville, France) - Feb. 8-11, 4,000 euro
Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort (Monte Carlo, Monaco) - March 8-11, 10,000 euro

PokerStars gives you the chance to play in all of the EPT events for as little as $5.50. Click on your PokerStars tournament lobby, then click on "Events" and "EPT" for satellites to the events.

New Poker Room for Fighfighters' Cause

The firefighter's poker league teamed up with Paradise Poker to offer the first and only weekly poker league dedicated to the brave men and women firefighters and emergency services (EMS), the Fifth Alarm Poker online room.

Average online poker players an also help contribute this worthy cause. A portion of the money raised goes directly to charities relating to firefighters and EMS like its September cause, the Uniformed Firefighters Widows and Children's Fund. All proceeds of this noble charity provide financial support for widows and children of New York City firefighters who died in the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Each week players will compete against other league members in hopes of topping the site's leader-board at the end of each month. Winning players will also be eligible for cash and other prizes at the end of each tournament by placing high on the monthly leader-board.

Although the site is new, it provides all of the poker games a player desires, ranging from today's most popular game, No Limit Texas Hold'em to old-school five-card draw. And if you're looking to have a good time playing poker and do something positive with your winnings, Fifth Alarm Poker is the place.

UK Online Site Sets Poker Grand Prix

Everyone's in poker tournament mood, and the UK's oldest online gaming sites are finally joining the bandwagon. William Hill, one of UK's best known oldest betting institutions, is introducing its first major tournament. The William

Hill Grand Prix is set to take place from the 17th thru the 25th of October with a 450,000 pound prize pool. The first place winner will cash-in 150,000 pounds.

What makes the William Hill tourney different from many of today's modern tournaments is it has removed the traditional tournament-style blinds in hopes of improving the action at the event. The purpose of this change in play is to bring back the technical side of the game that can be neglected during blind structured events that are made designed for speed.

The tournament will feature seven heats of eight players, consisting of eight online qualifiers and 48 top international poker professionals, who will pay the 6 thousand pound entry fee.

The winner of each heat will earn a spot at the final table and the semi-finalists (runner-up from each heat) will have an additional chance to make the finals by winning at a table specifically designated for the semi-finalists. In the end, eight finalists will compete for the top prize.

Viewers will get to see the actions atthe William Hill Grand Prix poker tournament via Sky TV in early December.
