For the first time in five seasons the EPT is going to Hungary today. It should be interesting to see who is willing to go over there. They are expecting a field of approximately 500 to each put in an entrance fee of 4000 euros. That should make for a pretty good kitty.
Numerous Poker Stars sponsored players are expected to be there including Luca Pagano, Noah Boeken and crowd favorite, Marcel Luske. The Europeans competing are deep with talent and the field for this event should be one of the most challenging ever. It will be interesting to see what North American players decide to make the trip over, if any go.
Included in the high calibre competition will be Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier who just took down a World Poker Tour win over the weekend, dispensing with all competition at the final table in just over five hours.
Hungary native Valdemar Kwaysser is hoping a home field advantage will do him well to take down his competition. Far from being a household name as of yet on the European poker tour circuit, Kwaysser sees this event as a good chance for him to up his ante. He has one major tournament win on the PokerStars Latin American poker tour having won the Costa Rica leg during its first season.
The tournament begins today at 1p.m. CET and is expected to finish on Saturday.
Good luck all!
